Unfreedom and Waged Work: Labour in India's Manufacturing Industry is a study on issues related to labour in India's manufacturing industry, and a critique of contemporary assumptions on its state, on the basis of both primary and secondary data.The authors discuss contemporary issues pertaining to labour in mainstream economics and build a critique based on empirical findings regarding 'job-less growth' in India in the post liberalization era. They analyze labour in different industry groups and suggest that increasing use of labour displacing technologies has rendered labour condition and employment growth precarious, which is reflected in terms of different variables of analysis like capital-labour ratio, employment elasticity of output, labour productivity, and employment growth.
