India’s world-beating growth not enough to end deep jobs drought

Live Mint  

Mumbai/New Delhi: The world’s fastest growing major economy isn’t growing nearly fast enough. Yet analysts generally agree that more needs to be done to open up the economy, attract foreign capital and generate the kind of wealth and business opportunities that has broadened the middle class in China, whose $12.2 trillion economy is more than four times as big as India’s. Underachiever “It hasn’t embraced global trade and foreign direct investments in the way China aggressively succeeded,” said Jim O’Neill, a former Goldman Sachs Asset Management chair and ex-commercial secretary to the UK Treasury and who coined the acronym BRIC in 2001 to describe Brazil, Russia, India and China as a group. Jobs challenge With more than 90% of India’s labour force employed in the nation’s informal economy, the government has struggled to produce reliable jobs data to even get an accurate read on the level of joblessness in India. The jobs void risks tarnishing the country’s image as an investment destination, stoking social unrest and posing a threat to Prime Minister Modi’s re-election bid early next year.
