Welfare Measures and Their Impact on Job Satisfaction of Industrial Workers in India

Abstract

Industrial workers form the backbone of India’s economic growth and development. As the country has transitioned from an agrarian economy to an industrial and service-based one, the contribution of workers engaged in factories, manufacturing units, mines, and other industrial establishments has become indispensable. They play a pivotal role not only in increasing production and generating employment but also in ensuring that India can compete in the global marketplace. However, the well-being and productivity of these workers depend heavily on the environment in which they work. Thus, welfare measures have emerged as a central element in sustaining industrial growth, ensuring social justice, and maintaining industrial harmony.
