No organisation can survive without right skills to
produce and market its product... Even our PM believes in the skills-shortage
and economists under-scores his vision... Firms, especially the Indian one’s, have not much scope but to employ unskilled
and give them on job training... That is how they are running since
inception... but, now firms are demanding skill-ready employees from the
government so that they do not have to spend time and money to get them job
ready... Skills are also important for productivity, wages/incomes, demand,
production, employment and growth... Therefore, any policy, even FDI, if leads
to these conditions within the domestic economy should be promoted... Moreover,
the long-run assumption that labour-supply is fully elastic on the natural or
subsistence-wages/incomes is not valid and the evidence of the Indian-economy
points that the economy easily starts overheating which is actually very good
for wages and income... Weak bargaining power of labour and inflation is
responsible for the natural-rate or the subsistence theory... Moreover, more firms relative to the labour-supply
will certainly push wages and income, and will lead to more demand and growth...
Therefore, if we have to breach the subsistence-wages-trap, either Unions
should be empowered to bargain or at best inflation or prices must go down...
