Given the nature of industries experiencing rapid growth in recent years, employment in the organized sector would not grow in any significant manner.The multinationals that have come so far have high capital intensity and low come so far, have high capital intensity and low potential for employment generation. Much of the employment growth in the economy is taking place through the process of subcontracting, use of casual or self‐employed workers.
