Abstract

In the process of economic development of any nation, the rapid growth of industrialization is one of the essential conditions. The rapid growth of the industry of any country leads to the generation of more and more employment in the industrial sector in the economy. According to Collin and Clark, in the process of economic development, the percentage share or contribution to national income increases in the service and secondary sector from the primary sector. So, in the Indian national programme, one of the most important agendas is to generate more and more employment for the people in the different sectors of the economy, including the industrial sector. In the present paper, the author has analyzed the employment growth of labour and its determinants in the organized manufacturing sector in two major states viz. West Bengal and Bihar by using secondary sources of data from 1971-72 to 2009-10.
