Description of the current market situation
The labor market in India, like other markets, is experiencing hard times in 2020 due to the pandemic, with rising unemployment rates and a slight decline in wage growth, despite state support for wage indexation. Thus, according to Rosstat for 2020, the average monthly nominal wage exceeded 50 rupees. During the study period of 2017-2020, the level of wages increased annually, however, the growth rate began to decrease, starting from 2019 and by the end of 2020, the increase was 7,3%, compared with 9,5% growth in 2019.

Based on wage data for Union Territories, the Central and Far Eastern Union Territories lead the way, with an average wage of more than 60 rupees. As usual, the highest salaries in the country are observed in federal cities, so in 2020, the average wage increased by 5%, stopping at an indicator of 100 rupees.

Market development prospects
The considered trends in unemployment and wage decline in the country can lead to an unstable situation in the labor market, as follows:
Regional unemployment is now the most widespread. It is exacerbated due to the economic situation in the regions where there is late payment of wages. Such unemployment is characterized by heterogeneity, strong differentiation by industries, areas of employment and territories.
Gradually, the situation in the labor market after the period of isolation in 2020, where there was a large number of job cuts, is stabilizing and the areas of remote work are developing more and more, making it possible for more and more segments of the population to earn.
