Centre for Employment Studies
The issues of labour and employment constitute an important research area of IHD. It has, over the years, emerged as a major repository of databases, research studies, and publications in these areas. The institute brings out a biennial India Labour and Employment Report and hosts the office of the Indian Society of Labour Economics and its quarterly publication ‘Indian Journal of Labour Economics’.
The Institute has set up the Centre for Employment Studies to further facilitate focused research and discussions on the labour markets and employment issues. The aim of the Centre is to strengthen and disseminate knowledge about employment issues in India, by building a systematic base of both data and documentation, and by expanding research into key employment and labour markets issues.
