Scheduled Castes in the Indian Labour Market: Employment Discrimination and Its Impact on Poverty

In their 2023 publication "Scheduled Castes in the Indian Labour Market: Employment, Discrimination and its Impact on Poverty" released by Oxford University Press, Sukhdeo Thorat, S Madheswaran, and BP Vani thoroughly explore the economic theories related to caste-based discrimination and the consequent disparities in employment, joblessness, earnings, and occupational distribution among various caste groups.
The book conducts an in-depth analysis of how employment and wage discrimination affect the income and poverty levels of scheduled caste workers. It advocates for implementing affirmative action policies as a viable solution to address and rectify employment and wage discrimination issues.
