Rapid economic growth and development in India has been based upon the mass employment of informal labour. Using case studies from three urban regions - Bangalore, Mumbai and New Delhi - this book examines this growth in modern India's cities and towns. It argues that India has undergone a process of uneven and combined development during its integration with the world economy, leading to a distorted form of urban development. Going beyond mainstream accounts and adopting a 'classes of labour' approach, it discusses how India's rapid economic development has been based upon the mass employment of workers on low wages who lack basic social protection and rights at work.
