Work from Home –India Witnessing a Rising Trend

by Paul Joseph June 24, 2011 Featured

It is extremely heartening to find that the work from home trend in India is increasing at a steady pace. Now, there are a lot of people who still have no idea as to how the concept works. Well, the process is extremely simple. What you need is a computer at home that has internet connectivity and a client. The latter is the one who assigns you the work online and expects you to complete it within a specific period of time. Obviously, you get paid in the end. There is absolutely no requirement for you to step out of your home and you can earn a lot of money from the comforts of your own bedroom. So, why is this method of employment so popular in India? Let us have a look at the probable reasons. Students : Students these days who are still pursuing their academic courses, but want to earn at the same time have found that working from home is extremely convenient. Classroom time does not get hampered and the work gets done on time. One can work from any location provided he or she has a proper internet connection. Its flexibility is what is attracting the youth towards itself. Housewives : The work from home option is also suitable for housewives who want some financial independence of their own. There are a lot of women who find it difficult to step out of their house and have a career due to a variety of responsibilities lying on their shoulders. The reasons could be their children or some health related issues. Such women find working from home as a well-situated option. They can work as well as attend to their children in the same room. The money that trickles in is certainly well appreciated. Already Employed : For those people who are already working but are not too happy with their salaries, work from home is a good source of some additional income. This helps them to lead a better life and that too without having to do any running around at all. Retired Professionals : We have often noticed that professionals, who have been married to their work during their youth, find it extremely difficult to adapt to the situation once they retire. They suffer from a feeling of hopelessness and begin to feel that the end of their professional lives have spelt their doom. Working from home provides such people with an opportunity to do something that is financially as well as intellectually satisfying. They can immerse themselves totally into work thereby doing what they like best. Now that we have seen who are the people who like to work from home and why it is so, let us take a look at it from the employers’ point of view. Work from home enables the employers the establishment costs. He does not have to set up an office with the necessary requisites thereby saving a lot of money in the process. The advantages in store for the employers as well as the employees have significantly contributed towards the success of the work from home system.

Higher growth produces more jobs in India

by Paul Joseph September 20, 2010 Featured

The higher growth rate of the Indian economy is being reflected in a significant increase in employment generation as well. According to a finance ministry official, the latest figures based on a sample survey of eight sectors show that as many as 10.66 lakh jobs were added between March, 2009, and March, 2010. The sectors include information technology (IT), information technology enabled services (ITeS), gems and jewellery, handloom, textiles, leather, metals, engineering goods and automobiles. These are labour-intensive sectors that cater mainly to the export markets and had seen massive job losses in the aftermath of the global financial meltdown triggered in October 2008. The automobile sector, which is dependent essentially on the domestic market, has shown a spectacular growth rate on the back of new models being launched and buoyant demand. This, in turn, has led to the generation of more employment. According to earlier studies carried out by the ministry of labour, employment had declined by 4.91 lakh during the October- December, 2008 quarter. Employment had then increased by 4.97 lakh during the July-September, 2009 quarter as the economy started showing some greenshoots of growth. A later survey showed that employment had improved by about 6.38 lakh during December 2009 over September 2009 due to substantial increase in employment of 5.7 lakh in the IT and BPO sectors. The labour ministry’s figures also show a net addition of 12.6 lakh during December 2008 to December 2008. While jobs had been axed and salaries slashed as firms tightened their belts to survive during the economic downturn, the revival of the industrial growth rate has led to more employment being generated once again. The total employment in the Indian economy during 2009-10 has been estimated at 506 million with an average annual growth rate of 1.97 per cent for the period 2004-05 to 2009-10. The total labour force in the country for 2009-10 has been estimated at 520 million and the figure is expected to go up to 574 million in 2014- 15, which means that 10 to 11 million new entrants are expected to join the labour force each year. The estimates indicate that employment must grow at least at 2.5 per cent a year for the next five years so that most of the open unemployment, including the additions to the labour force due to the increasing population, may be taken care of. According to projections worked out by the labour ministry a nine per cent economic growth rate of the Indian economy results in a 2.5 per cent increase in employment at the current level of absorption. Thus, while the government talks of inclusive growth it is essential to ensure a high growth rate of the economy as well if a worthwhile livelihood is to be provided to the people. Meanwhile, the government’s chief economic adviser Kaushik Basu said on Friday that he expected the economy to comfortably clock an 8.5 per cent growth rate during the current financial year. “The economy has grown at 8.8 per cent during the April-June quarter of the current financial year. I expect second quarter (Q2) growth to be lower than this and the Q3 growth again to be high and the year to end with a growth of 8.5 per cent,” Basu said. “The reason why the mediumto long- term growth prospects are even better for India is that the manufacturing sector is experiencing buoyancy rarely seen before,” he remarked. Job generators: Information technology (IT), information technology enabled services (ITeS), gems and jewellery, handloom, textiles, leather, metals, engineering goods and automobiles Bouncing back: These are labour-intensive sectors that cater mainly to the export markets and had seen massive job losses in the aftermath of the global financial meltdown triggered in October 2008. Latest surge: The total employment in the Indian economy during 2009- 10 has been estimated at 506 million with an average annual growth rate of 1.97 per cent for the period 2004-05 to 2009-10. Total count: The total labour force in the country for 2009- 10 has been estimated at 520 million and the figure is expected to go up to 574 million in 2014- 15, which means that 10 to 11 million new entrants are expected to join the labour force each year. The projection: According to the labour ministry, a nine per cent growth rate of the Indian economy results in a 2.5 per cent rise in jobs. Government’s economic adviser Kaushik Basu said the economy will grow at 8.5 per cent. courtesy : Indiatoday URL: http://8bt.in/QXMWRo Share
