Social security measures for labour has become relevant in India after the implementation of economic reforms. The first part of the decade of reforms has not given the required focus on this problem, though amounts have been set apart in every budget. There is a decline in the allocations made for social security in general and labour in particular. The second half showed increased allocation, but the amounts were found to be insufficient. As human face of economic reforms began to be slowly seen as severely adverse to labour, with losing of jobs, fall in employment, low allocation (in percentages) to social security of labour, researchers began to study the issues of social security of labour in detail and brought out conclusions which are quite unfavourable and depressed to labour. The present a volume analysed critically the declining trend observed in employment, poverty, education, health, housing, food and nutrition as well reduced government allocation to social security of labour. Organised employment got reduced and hence unorganised sector employment grow to 93% of total employment. The book articulates effectively for the removal of deprivation and vulnerability of labour to make them live a comfortable life with assured security.
