Turn the red lights green: Aadhaar and Digilocker for enterprises will accelerate job creation

Live Mint  

The primary theme of Jennifer Pahlka’s book Recoding America—that the US government is failing in the digital age—doesn’t apply to India. Fantastic recent policy announcements that green-light a unique identifier and digital repository for employers will enable a new wave of innovation in ‘enterprise DPI.’ This will accelerate high-wage job creation. Mass prosperity is held back by wages rather than jobs, high wages are held back by a shortage of non-farm employers with high productivity, and this employer population is held back by regulatory cholesterol: compliances/filings/jail provisions, irrational workflows and interpretation subjectivity. Jan Vishwas 2.0 must reverse the gaze by removing everything that doesn’t meet five clear criteria for jail: Must involve physical harm to other individuals; Must involve intentional defrauding of stakeholders ; Must involve externalities to societies so large that the violator cannot compensate, like public order, national integrity, etc. These five criteria will eliminate almost half of the Centre’s 5,000 plus jail provisions and create a template for the 20,000 plus state government jail provisions.
