    INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN INDIA

    ABSTRACT:
    Labor laws constitute the mechanism of state intervention to secure the rights and interests of
    people employed in various industries. The international labor organization has done a great
    deal of work in order to make the member countries of which India is one of the countries to
    conform to the standards of Labor legislations for the welfare of the labor.

    According ILO the indigenous people are “members of tribal or semi-tribal populations in
    independent countries which are regarded as indigenous on account of their descent from the
    populations which inhabited the country, or a geographical region to which the country
    belongs, at the time of conquest or colonization and which, irrespective of their legal status,
    live more in conformity with the social, economic and cultural institutions of that time than
    with the institutions of the national to which they belong.”

    Indigenous men and women are engaged in a multitude of sectors and occupations with
    variations from country to country. Nevertheless, indigenous workers across the world face
    similar challenges as their livelihoods are undergoing rapid changes with far-reaching
    consequences for their rights and well-being. Indigenous peoples’ traditional livelihood
    strategies are increasingly under pressure. At the same time, indigenous women and men face
    serious and persistent obstacles in gaining access to decent work, including productive and
    freely chosen employment and social protection. Indigenous peoples continue to be over-
    represented among the poor, the illiterate and the unemployed.1 Indigenous women fare
    worse than their male and non-indigenous counterparts in most socio-economic aspects.

    This research paper reviews a range of issues and trends as regards indigenous peoples’
    access to decent work, including employment and social protection. It argues that indigenous
    peoples’ economic empowerment through access to decent work and social protection is a
    key strategy for inclusive and rights-based development. Existing policies in the field of
    education, training and employment and their effective reach out to indigenous peoples. The
    paper calls for an increased focus on the elimination of discrimination against indigenous
    women and men in employment and occupation, in both rural and urban settings. It offers
    suggestions for concrete action to tackle unacceptable forms of work and the creation of
    social protection floors designed to reach indigenous communities.
