Inter-state differences on Labour Force Participation Rate and/or Unemployment rate also throw some surprises. Some of the States having pro-labour-rights policies have not performed well in terms of unemployment rate. The report is however not intended to arrive at any finding on the trade-off or complimentarily between/of the pro-labourrights and pro-labour reform policies. It may perhaps be advisable for the State Governments to take cognisance of inter-state differences in framing labour-market policies.
