Bridging the Wage Gap: The Role of Minimum Wages in Reducing Income Inequality in India

Author(s) Rohit Kashinath Pithale
Country India
Abstract The issue of income inequality in India has been a persistent challenge, with the gap between the rich and the poor widening over time. One of the key policy measures to address this disparity is the effective implementation and revision of minimum wage laws. While India has a structured minimum wage system, inconsistencies in enforcement, regional disparities, and inflation adjustments have reduced its impact on bridging income gaps. This paper explores the relationship between minimum wage policies and income inequality in India, analyzing existing legislative frameworks, economic theories, and empirical studies. The study critically evaluates government policies, highlighting their strengths and shortcomings, and proposes effective strategies for ensuring equitable wage distribution. Furthermore, this research delves into the socio-economic consequences of stagnant wage growth, labor market conditions, and the role of policy interventions in shaping income equality. The research aims to establish the role of minimum wages in reducing economic disparities and fostering sustainable economic growth by drawing insights from international best practices and contextualizing them within India's socio-economic landscape.
