Voice from Labour Chowk 

Each city of this Country has very special place to get man power services for household domestic purpose. The chowk is a microcosm of the free market where workers, armed with their tools and their luck compete for customers to make their pick. Most make it while those not lucky enough trudge back home 

This is life at a ‘labour chowk’ in the city, and there are a hundred such locations, according to a recent survey of the labour department, where labourers gather daily in search of work. The chowk has a mixed group of skilled and unskilled workers – beldars, masons and painters to the helper engaged at construction sites.

The Future of labour  We Want  : I nnovative workforce The idea that work plays a number of universal roles in the lives of individuals and societies – meeting material need, providing individual self-fulfilment, connecting the individual to society – does not mean that everybody wants, or expects, exactly the same thing from work, or that preferences will not change over time. If they are in a position to do so, different people will make different decisions about the trade-offs between paid work and free time, about the workload or responsibilities they wish to take on, or indeed about whether or not to participate in the workforce at all at any given time Quartz Media reported that Automation, advanced manufacturing, AI, and the shift to e-commerce are dramatically changing the number and nature of jobs around the world.
