Moving beyond conventional tea and agriculture studies, it analyzes the nature, patterns, and structure of work, including shifts from farm to non-farm dynamics in employment and labour-force composition. The book covers historical developments, labour-market policies, gender and socio-religious dimensions, and the expansion of casual, informal, and contractual labour. Using large-scale data and detailed case studies on unfree labour in plantations and workers in crafts, handloom, and manufacturing, it also explores temporal and spatial aspects of non-farm employment, its links to rural income distribution, and labour mobility. Edited by Virginius Xaxa, Debdulal Saha, and Rajdeep Singha.","Employment and Labour Market in North-East India  \nThis book examines the structural changes in the labour market in NorthEast India. Going beyond the conventional study of tea and agricultural sectors, it focuses on the nature, pattern and structure of work and employment in the region as well as documents emerging shifts in the labour force towards farm to non-farm dynamics. The chapters explore historical developments in employment patterns, labour market policies, issues of gender and social-religious dimensions, as well as point to growing forms of casual, informal and contractual labour across sectors.  \nThrough large-scale data and detailed case studies on unfree labour in plantations and those employed in crafts, handloom and the manufacturing industry, the book provides insights into labour and employment in the region. It also delves into the temporal and spatial dimensions of non-farm employment and its relationship with rural income distribution and labour mobility. By bringing interdisciplinary perspectives from scholars working on North-East India, this work fills a major gap in the political economy of the labour market in the region.  \nThe volume will be useful to scholars and researchers of development studies, North-East India studies, labour studies, economics, sociology and political science as well to those involved with governance and policymaking.  \nVirginius Xaxa is Professor of Eminence and Bharat Ratna Lokapriya Gopinath Bordoloi Chair at Tezpur University, Assam, India.  \nDebdulal Saha is Assistant Professor at the Centre for Labour Studies and Social Protection, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Guwahati Off Campus, Assam, India.  \nRajdeep Singha is Assistant Professor and Chairperson at the Centre for Labour Studies and Social Protection, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Guwahati Off Campus, Assam, India.  \nEmployment and Labour Market in North-East India  \nInterrogating Structural Changes  \nEdited by Virginius Xaxa, Debdulal Saha and Rajdeep Singha  \nFirst published 2019  \nby Routledge  \n2 Park Square, Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon OX14 4RNand by Routledge  \n711 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10017  \nRoutledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group, an informa business © 2019 selection and editorial matter, Virginius Xaxa, Debdulal Saha and Rajdeep Singha; individual chapters, the contributors The right of Virginius Xaxa, Debdulal Saha and Rajdeep Singhato be identified as the author of the editorial material, and of the authors for their individual chapters, has been asserted in accordance with sections 77 and 78 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.  \nThe international boundaries, coastlines, denominations, and other information shown in any map in this work do not necessarily imply any judgement concerning the legal status of any territory or the endorsement or acceptance of such information.
