Anooja, Chacko (2017): Employment Conditions in Traditional Sector: A Study of Spinning Mill Workers in Kozhikode, Kerala.

Abstract

Spinning mill industry, one of the labour intensive traditional sectors in Kerala plays an important role in absorbing rural unskilled labour force. Even though these medium and large scale industries had existed since the late 19th century and initiated the industrialisation process of the state, the present situation is gloomy. This sector faces several problems both in the management level and at the employment level. The present paper tries to critically evaluate the inherent labour problems.
