Скачать или смотреть Nov 25 Current Affairs GS3 Analysis | India's Dual Economy: Tech Superpower vs. Informal Labor

Welcome to Simplified UPSC by पठति पठत: पठन्ति! In this comprehensive discussion, we'll dissect the critical economic and technological developments of November 2025, focusing on key GS-3 themes that expose the dual realities of modern India.

This analysis moves beyond headlines to examine two conflicting trends: India's aspiration to be a global tech superpower and the ground reality of its vast, vulnerable informal workforce. We scrutinize how automation and global policy shifts are rapidly transforming the IT sector, making outdated skills irrelevant and challenging the long-standing 'labor arbitrage' business model.

We provide a detailed look at the new Labor Code reforms—an ambitious effort to formalize the 90% informal workforce and extend social security, including coverage for gig workers. Crucially, we evaluate the significant implementation hurdles, funding gaps, and the risk of digital exclusion.

Finally, we connect these internal economic shifts to the strategic goal of Aatmanirbharta (Self-Reliance), particularly in the Defence sector and the acquisition of critical resources like Rare Earth Elements (REEs). We highlight India's paradoxical position of being resource-rich yet strategically dependent on imports for key future technologies.

This lecture synthesizes these complex factors, revealing India's crucial transition from a cheap labor provider to a 'Value Creation Model,' a shift mandatory for future economic stability and success. Understand the challenges and the way forward essential for your UPSC Mains examination.

The discussion covers the crisis in the IT sector due to AI, automation, and global policy shifts, leading to the expiry of the old 'labor arbitrage' model and highlighting a severe skill gap.

Finally, the analysis connects these themes to India's strategic push for Aatmanirbharta, emphasizing the critical importance of domestic production of Rare Earth Elements (REEs) to secure future green and digital supply chains. The video concludes by framing India's necessary shift toward a 'Value Creation Model' and posing the central policy challenge: balancing cutting-edge technology investment with securing the vast human capital base.
