| Abstract: |
Sociologists have mapped some of the myriad social and cultural changes that have occurred in India following the economic reforms of the 1990s, from the expansion and transformation of the middle class and the globalisation of cities to the new media landscape and growing consumer culture. But other developments of the post-liberalisation era have been relatively understudied, especially changing patterns of work and employment. With the dismantling of public-sector industries, increased private capital investment and the expansion of the service sector, a range of new organisations, occupations and forms of work have appeared, from highly paid employment in software engineering or financial services to less skilled and low-paid jobs in security, housekeeping, retail, transport and the like. |
