ABSTRACT:
This paper examines the link between wage share in net value added and real labor productivity in India’s organized manufacturing sector. The empirical results suggest that increase in real labor productivity almost leads to one for one decline in wage share, which implies that gains of real labor productivity gains are not accruing to laborers, instead entire gains of labor productivity increase is being captured by profit earners and it is being manifested in continuously rising profit shares. The data from Annual Survey of Industries (1981-82 to 2013- 14) suggests that overtime there has been a decline in share of wages in net value added, which is matched by a corresponding increase in profit share, this regressive distribution of income has profound implications for the growth of manufacturing sector itself.
