The post industrial development, in the globalization era has entered into a different wave length wherein labour demand for work has been reduced via speeding up of mechanical automation and robot system of work culture. Further, the technological push factor working through innovation and thus creating a new knowledge demand for industrial workers in India and elsewhere has produced its worst effects in terms of reduced hour of works for regular wage employment and its worsening effects on conditions and nature of employment.
