The evolving discourse on job quality from normative frameworks to measurement indicators: the Indian example: the Indian example.
Working Paper.

Abstract
Indians are optimistic. According to the Pew Research Center’s 2017 Global Attitudes Survey,
three out of four Indians believe that, “when children today in India grow up, they will be better
off financially than their parents” (Pew Global Attitudes Survey, 2017). Families hinge their
hopes on the ability of the next generation to work hard, earn a living, and be a source of
financial support. For years now, the nation has done the same, pinning its economic ambitions
to a demographic advantage, or youth bulge, that is set to continue only for the next two decades.
Unless there are pathways to productive and high-quality employment, the nation’s youth will
not be able to deliver on these expectations.
