1. The Labor Legislations are the products of Industrial Revolution and they have come into being
to take care of errors created by it due to spific circumstances. They are different from common
legislations. Therefore they are spific and not general in philosophy, concept and even in practice.
Labor Legislations seeks to deal with the problems arising out of the occupational status of
individuals. Problems such as hours of work, wages, working conditions, trade unionism, and
industrial relations are the main subjt matter of labor legislation. Individuals have different role to
perform and different laws are designed for regulating the different roles. It is the role relation that
determines whether a particular legislation falls under the category of labor legislation, social
legislation or general legislation. All these legislations try to meet the spific objtives that are to
provide subsistence, to aim at abundance (affluence), to encourage equality, to maintain surity.
Labor class is indeed one of the classes most vulnerable to exploitation. Most of the labor
legislations in India are pre- constitutional. The concept of fundamental rights was introduced in the
constitution. International labor organization was formed in India and the success of these labor
legislations must be an attribute to the ILO, as the guidelines issued by the ILO formed the principle
on which these legislations were drawn. The ILO did have a great impact on the labor laws in India.
Many new laws were enacted to incorporate the guidelines of the ILO. With the growth and
expansion of factories and industries new avenues for employment were created, resulting in to
gradual migration of labor force from rural areas to urban areas. In the absence of any state control
or organization of the workers, the employers were less concerned about the needs of the employees
& their work hours. The wages were much below the subsistence (survival) level and the working
conditions were unsatisfactory. These situations led to the enactment of a number of legislations
beginning from the year 1881. These include The Factories Act (1881), Workmen's Compensation
Act (1923), and Trade Unions Act (1926), The Payment of Wages Act, (1936), The Maternity
Benefit Act (1939) and so on. The Factories Act 1881 is the basis of all labor and industrial laws of
the country. It contained provisions for even working hours for men and women, minimum age for
employment of children. After the formation of ILO in 1919, this act was amended, which made
provisions for safety, health and hygiene of the workers. It also made spial provision for women
and juvenile workers (i.e. labor above the age of 16 but less than 18),It also prohibited child labor.

b) List out the reasons for new labor laws in India.
