Budget 2021 hasn’t done enough to fix India’s employment crisis, say experts

The 34% rise in capital expenditure promised in the 2021-’22 Budget – from Rs 4.12 lakh crore in 2020-’21 to Rs 5.54 lakh crore – may not do much to resolve the
employment crisis caused by the pandemic-led lockdown, our analysis shows. The push for big, long-gestation infrastructure projects is good but may not result in many jobs, economists say, and the budget merely reiterates the provisions of the
labour codes passed in 2019 and 2020 by Parliament on social security and universal minimum wages.
