About The Seminar:
The Corporates, pursuant to globalization and inherent competition, have generally been adopting Labour rationalization policies in order to reduce costs to be competitive. To meet the aforesaid situation, several developed and developing countries have introduced plans like Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS), lay-offs/retrenchment, and closures both in the organized and the unorganized sectors. A significant shift has taken place in the employment from permanent to temporary, casual, and fixed-term contract employment.
The COVID19 pandemic has caused major havoc worldwide, including in India. The worst effect had been workers who lost their jobs and other means of livelihood due to the measures taken to check the spread of coronavirus. Consequent, the shrinking of national economies, declining trade, increasing inflations, and no recipe from anywhere have created a humanitarian crisis in many parts of the world. Can the reform in laws and political posturing alone can bring the economies out of the present crisis, that is there to stay at least for some time.
