According to the official
statistics 50% of our country’s GDP
comes from as many as 420 million
workers in the un-organised
sector, while these workers include
street vendors, rickshaw pullers,
construction workers, rag pickers,
agricultural labourers who are the
orphaned and uncared workers of
our politico-economic system of
rule and our acclaimed ‘democratic
state’.
Many economists including the
conservative economists that
support the neo-liberal economic
policies of imperialist globalisation
implemented with much zeal in our
country have to admit that these
policies have utterly failed to bring
about wellbeing of poor and
marginal workers but intensified
their misery and they had to
recommend that for provision of an
effective and efficient social
security net-work and legal
protection for the lively-hoods and
decent living of these people.
Despite the rhetoric from the
time of the regime of P.V.
Narasimharao and Manmohan
Singh who had introduced and
implemented the neo-liberal
economic policies of imperialist
globalisation in our country that
they would alleviate poverty and
bring about wellbeing to the toiling
masses, all such promises have
remained to be empty promises
and more and more people are
being pauperised. None of the
alleged social security and welfare
schemes launched by successive
governments came to the rescue
of these in-secure, unprotected
workers of the unorganised sector.
Though more and more
pension schemes have been
16
introduced by the central and state
governments in different attractive
names, they have proved to be only
intended to hood-wink people in to
false security and loot their votes
for the attainment of power for their
parties.
Besides this, there is a more
fundamental serious aspect those
various pension schemes that did
not come in to any usefulness to
the needed workers; which is not
being discussed.
Previously
before
the
introduction of neoliberal economic
policies of capitalism, during the
times of the welfare state economic
view, the governments by
themselves used to implement
pension schemes, calling them
defined pension schemes to the
workers as a social security welfare
measures, funding them wholly
without any contribution from the
concerned worker, treating it as
governmental responsibility.
But the neo-liberal economic
policies of capitalism mandate that
state shall not take any social
security responsibility and that it
should abdicate from such
responsibility and the workers or concerned people themselves
have to provide social security on
their own for themselves by making
provisions from their own earning
however paltry they may.
Accordingly, the defined pension
schemes are replaced with the
contributory pension schemes
where the concerned workers
made to contribute for their own
social security pensions regularly
from their own earnings. On such
a capitalist principle of no
governmental/state responsibility
for the welfare of the ruled, the
contributory pension scheme with
various attractive names have
been introduced in our country in
the name of new pension schemes
with attractive labels such as Atal
pension yojana, N.P.S etc, besides
such contributory social security
insurances such as ‘Chandranna
Bheema’ etc as introduced in AP –
propagating and trumpeting such
pension/insurance schemes as a
boon provided to the unorganised
sector unsecure and unprotected
workers by the concerned political
parties in power.
In fact, there is a hidden
capitalist-dynamic in these new
contd from page 15 need. This is really a very good
ploy to appease its soul-searching
employees and a very effective
anaesthetic against their raising
social consciousness.
The working-class shall be
very critical and vigilant against
such machinations and H.R
management policies against the
employees and their unholy
implications of exploitation of the
labour power of intellectual techy
workers in the interests of
imperialism!
with regards to its effects on
society and the role and utility of
their labour power in serving the
interests of the imperialism, on the
other hand APPLE has been facing
more and more trouble from the
Chinese government for the past
few years and now with their
‘human face of charity’ APPLE
projects itself in the eyes of the
world as a ‘friend of the people’ and
a ‘saviour’ of ‘poverty stricken’
people of China who are in want of
