abstract: 'High economic growth has not led India to an egalitarian economy. In

  fact, despite achieving high growth under the neo-liberal policy

  framework, India is suffering from unprecedented inequalities of wealth

  and incomes (Oxfam 2021, 2023), persistent unemployment and jobless

  growth, severe deficiencies in education as well as in nutrition and

  health, and well-being, and ecological damages. These problems have been

  discussed by many experts and policy makers in India. However, the same

  growth process has impacted on the new categories of work and workers

  also as defined by ILO in its ground-breaking Resolution onStatistics of

  Work, Employment and Labour Underutilization (ILO 2013) and their time

  use patterns. Our careful study of the time use patterns has revealed

  new concerns, which have impacted adversely on the health of the

  mainstream economy in multiple ways. These concerns are neglected if not

  excluded in the mainstream discussions today. This paper attempts to

  study these concerns and their implications for the Indian economy. It,

  then, explores pathways to inclusive and sustainable development in

  India.'
