Abstract

Expansion of the informal sector has meant the introduction of new economic activities which are informal employment or are within informal sector along with a predominant process of shrinkage of the existing formal sector and conversion of the formal to informal. These tendencies are dynamic in nature and broadly define the process of informalization. The chapter discusses this process and its close association with neoliberal capitalist development in the country. The measure of informalization is mostly qualitative in terms of conditions of work and less quantitative. The process of informalization has resulted in a continuum of labour relations which passed through various stages in institutional history.
