The Indian government will soon set up a committee to frame India's first National Employment Policy with an aim to significantly push up employment generation in the country, reports The Economic Times. Work has begun to identify the members of the committee that is expected to have representatives from stakeholder ministries, academia, experts and representatives of employers and trade unions. The policy is expected to take into account the jobs estimated to be created under the production-linked incentive scheme across a dozen sectors besides the rising number of gig workforce and platform workers in the country. The policy will have twin objectives of creating an enabling environment for attracting new enterprises and industries to generate employment opportunities while improving the skill sets of the existing workforce to make it employable and competent enough to match global standards with special emphasis on increasing the headcount of female workforce.
