Acknowledging that some labour laws have not yielded the desired results, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Tuesday said there is a need to revisit some of them which have hurt the growth of employment.
"We have enacted several progressive labour laws since independence and some even before that. But it appears that not all these laws have had the intended good effects that we would like to see on the ground," he said inaugurating the 43rd session of Indian Labour Conference.
Singh said there is a need to consider the possible role of some of the labour laws in "contributing to rigidities in the labour market which hurt the growth of employment."
"Is it possible that our best intentions for labour are not actually met by laws that sound progressive on paper but end up hurting the very workers they are meant to protect," he said in his address to the delegates who included representatives from trade union, employees and employers.
