It finds that manufacturing workers are more literate today than they were in 1983. It also presents a labour quality index based on the Jorgenson, Gallop, and Fraument methodology for both the rural and urban sectors of the states. The labour quality indices show that quality changes have been quite slow and there is a lot of variation among states in both the rural and urban sectors. The association of the labour quality index with the state's characteristics is found to be weak, but the urban labour quality index has stronger links with the human development index of the states, urban poverty ratio of the state, number of ITIs, and the intensity of industrialisation. - Reproduced.
