The Ma Foi Randstad Employment Trends Survey (MEtS), conducted by Ma Foi Randstad, India’s No. 1 Integrated HR services company, is a
study on the Indian employment trends and opportunities. Started in November 2004, MEtS was conducted once a year, till 2008.
Considering the several dynamic shifts in employment, even within a year’s time, MEtS was therefore converted to a quarterly survey from
2010, to capture the changes in employment scenario in India from one quarter to another. The prime objective of this employment survey is
to understand the employment trends in the organized sector on a quarterly basis. The present survey has captured the employment situation
in the organized sector for the quarter of October 2010 to December 2010 and the likely scenario from January to June 2011. The study is
based on the sample survey conducted for about 650 companies across different sectors of the economy. The feedback was gathered from
the top HR personnel or from top management of the companies who could share the current and the likely scenario regarding employment
related issues. The major parameter captured in the survey is the change in hiring pattern and employee strength.
The report is divided into four sections. The first section (Section A) provides the background as well as an overview of the Indian Economy.
Section B discusses the data and methodological aspects of the study. Section C provides a picture of the changing pattern of the
employment for different sectors of the economy. This section also provides a snapshot of how the scenario is changing in select cities. The
final section (Section D) highlights key issues.
Dear Friend,
Greetings from Ma Foi Randstad!
The year 2010 saw major economies registering modest
growth and India on a balanced growth path. India story
gained primacy at the beginning of 2010, with the changing
market scenarios across the world. The growing significance of
the emerging markets like India and China, has led to many
global corporations including these countries, in their growth
and workforce strategies.
Ma Foi Randstad Employment Survey [MEtS] is an initiative to
assist the senior leaders in their workforce strategies.
At the beginning of 2010, MEtS predicted creation of 1 million
jobs in the organized sector through the year. Our year-end
METS shows creation of 1.13 million jobs across 13 industry
verticals. Healthcare, Hospitality, Real Estate, Construction, IT
and ITeS sectors played a major role in 2010 in fuelling the
growth and job creation.
For 2011, we expect the trend to continue. We estimate
creation of 1.6 million jobs across various sectors. We see a
large number of these jobs happening in the Healthcare, Nonmachinery Manufacturing, Hospitality, IT & ITeS and Real
Estate & Construction sectors.
While there is positivity in the air, we as the market leader in
the HR services industry, see the “Employability Gap” as a
challenge. I do hope that steps taken by the government and
the industry will address this issue quickly and effectively.
It is my pleasure to share with you the results of the Ma Foi
Randstad Employment Trends Survey – 1st edition of 2011.
I hope that you will find the report useful.
Look forward to your valuable feedback and inputs.
Warm Regards
E. Balaji
MD & CEO
Indian Economy
on a balanced growth path
The January 2011 update of The World Economic Outlook
by International Monitory Fund (IMF) has mentioned about
improved modest growth registered by the advanced
economies, which is also marked by high unemployment,
sovereign debt risks and the relative higher level of
economic growth with some signs of optimism. For India,
2010-11 has been a year of balanced growth. The official
overall real GDP growth rate for the first half of the year
was 8.9 per cent.
The inflation rate continues to be high; a cause for concern
for the economy. However, the year on year change in the
Wholesale Price Index was 8.4 per cent for the month of
December 2010, a single digit inflation rate for the fifth
consecutive month, after five months of double digit
inflation. The Consumer Price Index for industrial workers
had also dropped to single digit, which was a positive trend
for the economic outlook and was much below the
expected level.
Spatial distribution of rainfall at sub-division and district
levels was significantly better in 2010-11 as compared to
the previous year. A favourable overall condition and price
environment have raised the expectation of higher
production, as well as productivity for various crops in
different parts of the country. A comfortable situation has
led to small increase in the Wholesale Price Index for
cereals, pulses, edible oils and sugar as compared to double
digit growth in Wholesale Price Index for the same period
in the previous year.
The Index of Industrial production (IIP) has also registered
significant higher growth during the last quarter of 2010.
Manufacturing has improved considerably during April to
December of 2010, compared to the previous quarters,
while growth in energy sector was lower compared to the
previous year. However, it is expected that a high base is
likely to keep the IIP growth low. Also, a somewhat volatile
pattern of IIP growth exhibited in recent months is a cause
for concern. A high level of reported capacity utilization
hints towards uneven patterns in demand from large
infrastructure or development projects rather than usual
stable economic activities as the reason for fluctuations in
IIP growth.
The service sector indicators reflect continuation of growth
momentum. Though the external demand remained
relatively weak, indicators related to transportation and
financial sectors look reasonable. The external trade has
gone up to US$ 27.9 billion in first half of the 2010-11
compared to US$ 55.9 billion during the corresponding
period of 2009-10. However, the cause for concern is the
decline in gross as well as net FDI inflows. The Central
Government’s fiscal position has improved during April to
December 2010 due to unexpected bonanza from 3G
telecom spectrum sale and better collection of tax and
non-tax revenues.
Data Sources
The study has used both primary and secondary data to arrive at different estimates. Secondary data from various
sources have been used for this study. Historical data on the manufacturing sector has been culled out from various
rounds of the Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) and publications of the Central Statistical Organization (CSO). Apart
from these sources, the others used for the study are various surveys of the National Sample Survey Organization
(NSSO), Labour Statistics of India and Statistical outline of India.
The above sources have the advantage of almost universal coverage of the organized sector within their specific
domains. However, data from most of these secondary sources are not up-to-date. Therefore the estimation
procedure, to take care of this problem, is by using up-to-date figures on sectoral Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
and Index of Industrial Production (IIP).
Once estimates of base sectoral employment was obtained, the data captured through primary survey of about 650
firms across sectors were used to arrive at estimates on different parameters. Rigorous estimation procedures were
used along with the primary survey data of the companies to estimate parameters for the fourth quarter of the year
2010 and expectations regarding the first two quarters of 2011.

estimates of
employment
generation in
different sectors
The outlook is more or less stable across sectors over the
months. The optimism of early 2010 was further
strengthened due to a positive economic outlook, but the
recent political developments marked with scandals have
made an impact on the overall business confidence, albeit
marginal. Employment generation has remained stable and
upbeat in most of the sectors. However, continuous
inflation, price of raw materials and intermediate industrial
products, scams involving ministers and so on have created
some caution in the minds of entrepreneurs. The
movement of skilled workforce within the sector continued
during the 4th Quarter of 2010. The change in
employment across sectors is given in the table below.
The employment scenario during any specific time period
needs to be viewed from the perspective of various
activities and at several fronts, for a considerable period.
This section has presented the estimated employment
numbers with expectations for different sectors of the
Indian economy. It also lists some of the issues that might
have an impact on the employment scenario, either directly
or indirectly. This will help correlate between the trends
observed regarding employment and economic as well as
political fundamentals.

The BFSI sector is expected to add 116,240
jobs in 2011.
?
The stable and positive sentiment at the economic front continues
to help the BFSI sector to grow further during the 4th Quarter of
2010. Responses from the BFSI companies indicate that almost
similar condition will prevail during the first two quarters of 2011
as well as for the entire year. The sector is cautiously optimistic
about growth of employment numbers.
?
The raise of Repo and Reverse Repo rates by RBI on 25th January
2011 has caused an increase of Repo rate by 175 basis points and
Reverse Repo rate by 225 basis points, since March 2010. CRR has
increased by 100 basis points during the same time.
?
Inflation has remained a cause for concern over the past months
and is expected to continue for a few more months to come.
However, the response to structural causes of inflation needs to be
through reallocation of resources across sectors. Short term
measures like interest rate hikes, though manage to contain
inflation to a moderate level are not strong enough to sustain
growth. .
?
The recent RBI report on the Micro Finance sector has
recommended several checks to resolve the issues and improve
transparency. However, observations have also been made
regarding the “Recovery Culture” in the financial sector and its
adverse effects on the customers. This is an important observation
made by RBI, in view of the recent measures taken by the Andhra
Pradesh Government to regulate the recovery of loans from the
small borrowers by the MFIs. However, the drive towards financial
inclusion will certainly play a positive role in employment
generation in this sector.
?
Bank credit to commercial sector is increasing steadily, which is
one of the major driving forces for the banking sector in the
country.
?
Insurance sector, both life and general, has witnessed a positive
sentiment in the 4th Quarter as compared to the previous ones
and is expected to do better in coming months.

January 2011 - December 2011
The Education, Training and Consulting sector
is expected to add 107,500 jobs in 2011.
?
Education sector continued to contribute significantly to the
employment base of the country during the last Quarter of 2010.
?
The sector is expected to grow at similar rate during the first
couple of Quarters of 2011. However, the expectation regarding
growth for the entire calendar year of 2011 is slightly lower
compared to the first two Quarters of the year.
?
The regulatory ambiguity still remains the biggest impediment that
holds back the sector’s transformation into one of country’s
largest industry segments.
?
A study by KPMG projects an investment potential of US$ 100
billion in Education sector over the next five to six years. Going
forward, Venture Capitalists and Private Equity players will have a
role to play in the expansion of this sector.
?
A distinct shift can be observed in the approach of the students
and their parents.. The tendency to opt for job oriented education,
rather than the general educational streams, has given immense
opportunity to the private players.
?
Private players are currently targeting the student base at Tier II
and Tier III cities, in addition to the main metros. This move has
proved to be effective, since the government education
infrastructure is poor in many of these cities.

The Energy sector is expected to add 24,900
jobs in 2011.
?
The Energy sector has remained weak during 4th quarter of 2010
though marginal improvement was noticed as compared to the
previous quarter in terms of employment generation.
?
The expectations, as reported by the companies for the next two
Quarters, as well as for the entire 2011, show us stable growth in
employment in spite of many encouraging policy announcements.
?
The IIP for Electricity and Coal has posted significantly lower growth
rates from April to December 2010, compared to the same period
of 2009-10. Amongst the energy sub-sectors, only crude oil has
registered an impressive growth of more than 11 per cent during
April to December 2010 as compared to -1.4 per cent during the
same period of 2009-10. Petro products have also posted a positive
growth of 0.8 per cent against minus 1.2 per cent of the previous
year.
?
A 61% hike proposed by the Union Budget 2011-12 for the
Renewable Energy sector should work as a booster for the Green
Energy companies. This is mainly due to the increased thrust being
given to Solar Energy utilization under the Solar Mission. The
proposal from the Government to spend Rs. 5 billion to set up Solar,
Small Hydro and Micro Power projects in the Ladakh region of
Jammu and Kashmir may also work as a boosting factor if
implemented.
?
The Central Ministry of Power has set an ambitious plan of “power
for all by 2012”. The plan requires that the installed power
generation capacity to be increased form current 147,402 MW to
200,000 MW by 2012. This should provide some impetus to the
sector, to grow at a higher level and generate new employment
opportunities.
?
Funding for renewable energy projects is expected to become easier
in India as banks and private equity investors begin to look at clean
energy projects as viable business propositions to invest in.
?
With inherent advantages such as engineering talent and low-cost
manufacturing, India has the potential to be a leader in the cleantechnology industry. Areas of opportunity include Clean Coal
Technology and Solar Technology. The efficient building of
technologies needs power designers, energy auditors, energy
engineers and green building architects. Once the sector’s growth
path looks up, employment potentially increases.

The Healthcare sector is expected to add

?
Healthcare sector remains as one of the leading employment
providing sectors in the country contributing to more than 16% of
total estimated employment. The sector is poised to contribute
greatly to employment in next couple of quarters too.
?
The healthcare industry is growing at an unprecedented rate.
Indians are, of late,prone to lifestyle related diseases and are vying
for better amenities. The healthcare industry in India is anticipated
to reach US$ 75 billion by 2012, with a significant growth during
the next one year. This sector, thus, will continue as the major
employment generating sector in India.
?
Penetration of health insurance has also been providing the
organized healthcare sector the required boost.
?
Setting up new healthcare facilities in tier II and III cities in India
are opening up new avenues for employment generation in this
the sector.
?
There is no inhibiting factor regarding foreign investment in
healthcare industry unlike many other industries. The absence of
regulatory laws is also playing a positive role in the spreading of
the healthcare facilities across the states. Recognizing the need for
technological advances in this sector, Government has granted
many relaxations too. All these factors are boosting the growth of
the sector and in turn generating employment.
?
The increasing popularity of Medical tourism along with alternative
therapies such as Homoeopathy, Ayurveda and the similar kinds
are also providing new opportunities for job creation.

Hospitality sector has again shown high and stable growth during
last Quarter of 2010.
?
The expectations as reported by the hospitality companies reaffirm
the optimism felt amongst the industry players. The employment
growth by the sector is expected to be further strengthened
during coming months.
?
A large number of approvals for new hotels and a large scale
investment in hotel infrastructure in the major cities as well as tier
II and tier III cities have led to creation of significant number of
jobs at all levels.
?
Foreign Tourist Arrivals (FTAs) in India during October to December
2010 was at 7.9 per cent, which was marginally lower compared
to the previous Quarter. But the sector players are optimistic about
the future.
?
Foreign Exchange Earnings (FEEs) from tourism had also increased
significantly during 4th Quarter of 2010 compared to the same
period in the previous year.
?
Increased demand for tourism activities, both in domestic and
international markets has resulted in big travel agencies and tour
operators recruiting on a large scale.
?
Substantial numbers of hospitality companies are trying to include
various tourism products within their service portfolio. This has
also accentuated hiring by these companies at all levels.
?
According to the players in the Hospitality sector, Meetings,
Incentives, Conferencing and Exhibitions (MICE) have become
major revenue generating activities for the sector. This has also
increased the need for hiring skilled manpower in this sector.

The IT & ITES sector is expected to add

?
IT & ITES sectors have remained as one of the major job providers
during the 4th Quarter of 2010. The responses from the surveyed
companies suggest that the sector will keep growing in 2011 as
well.
?
According to NASSCOM, the IT-ITeS industry is India’s one of the
largest employment generators in the organized sector creating
jobs for over 10 million people both directly and indirectly.
?
The spread of the IT-ITeS sector to the tier II and tier III cities has
further widened the growth potential of the sector thereby
generating more employment.
?
Increase in number of Rural BPOs has also contributed to the
sector’s role in increasing employment across the country.
?
However, the process of geographical dispersion of the industry is
being adversely affected by the non-extension of the STPI scheme
and attendant tax incentives. A proactive role on part of the
government will lead to increased job creation in the sector.
?
Companies in this sector are consciously moving up the value
chain in the journey of outsourcing, to stay competitive in the
global arena. This has impacted the employment trends in this
sector
?
Increase in lateral job shifts among employees within the sector
has resulted in substantial increase in the salary levels, for the new
hires, as well as for existing employees.

jobs in 2011.
?
This sector also has experienced significant growth in terms of
employment in the last Quarter of 2010 and also poised for
further growth in 2011.
?
All its sub-sectors have grown significantly during 2010-11 as
compared to previous year.
?
Machinery & Equipment (other than Transport Equipment) has
grown by more than 27 per cent during the first three Quarters of
2010-11, as against 15 per cent during same period of the
previous year.
?
Transport Equipment has grown by more than 35 per cent in
2010-11 as against 17 per cent during the same period of 200910.
?
However, higher inflation remains a cause for concern for a
sustained long term success.
?
Viability gap funding for the infrastructure projects by the
government can play a positive role for further growth of both this
sector as well as Non-Machinery Manufacturing sector.
?
Continuous demand for the products in the non-machinery
manufacturing sector, in 2010 has provided a boost for this sector.
However, a lower growth rate of IIP in the sector in 2011 may
result in negative impact on the employment.
?
Higher cost of fund, if continued, may also pose a threat for the
growth of this sector.

?
The positive growth momentum that was witnessed during the
third Quarter continued during the fourth Quarter as well. This is
expected to continue in 2011 as reported by the companies
surveyed.
?
One of the main reasons for the early recovery of the sector in
India, compared to other emerging economies and developed
countries, is the market’s domestic demand rather than exports.
Sound macro-economic fundamentals and stimulus also played its
role in shaping the industry’s quick recovery.
?
The output of Basic Goods remained at the same level between
April and December 2010 compared to the previous year, while
intermediate goods showed a marginal decline.
?
Consumer Goods sector has again posted a high level of growth
of more than 21 per cent during April and December 2010
quarter.
?
The labour intensive industries such as Food products, Textile
products, Leather and related products, Rubber, Plastic, Petroleum
& Coal products etc. have shown significant growth during 4th
Quarter as well as during the entire year of 2010.
?
Non-Metallic Mineral Products, Metal Products & Parts (except
machineries and equipment) have also posted significantly high
growth compared to previous year.
?
All these factors together have added significant employment
numbers to the country’s employment base.

The Pharma sector is expected to add 49,400

Indian Pharma sector has been growing significantly and has
?
maintained the growth during the last quarter of 2010. The
expectations also show a large increase in employment generation
by this sector in 2011.
Contract research and contract manufacturing systems are paving
?
new opportunities for the Indian pharmaceutical market. Indian
players have the opportunity now to participate in the global
generics growth story and benefit from it. Contract manufacturing

$30billion, whereas contract research is estimated to reach US$610 billion. This will definitely play a positive role in further

urbanization, increase in lifestyle related diseases and penetration
of health insurance has led to dramatic growth in the Indian

Real Estate and

January - June 2011
January 2011 - December 2011
The Real Estate and Construction sector is
expected to add 144,700 jobs in 2011.
?
The stable economic growth has put the Real Estate and
Construction sector on the high growth path again.
?
Although the sector had experienced higher growth compared to
previous couple of years, it was still lower than the expectation of
the sector players. The prime reason behind this is that the latent
demand has not entirely translated into the actual demand in the
market.
?
This has led to a stable but slightly lower growth expectation in
terms of employment generation by the sector for the next couple
of Quarters and the sentiments for the year 2011 are a bit muted.
?
However, the Construction sector remained a big booster for the
employment growth. The investment in construction sector
accounts for 11% of India’s GDP and nearly 50% of India’s Gross
Fixed Capital Formation.
?
Since Construction sector accounts for about 65% of the total
investment in Infrastructure, it is expected to be the biggest
beneficiary. Due to the infrastructure development drive that the
country is currently witnessing, this sector is expected to generate
substantial number of jobs in the country.
?
Higher level of retail and hospitality related activities are also
expected to contribute to employment generation.

January - June 2011
January 2011 - December 2011
The Trade including Consumer, Retail and
Services sector is expected to add 38,600 jobs
in 2011.
?
This sector was on a higher growth path during 4th quarter of
2010, compared to the previous quarters. The expectations of the
companies depict, that during next couple of quarters and as well
as during the entire year 2011 strong growth trend will be
maintained on view of higher growth in international trade and
buoyant domestic market. .
?
The total retail sale in India is estimated at US$ 392.63 billion for
2011 and is expected to reach US$ 674.37 billion by 2014. Strong
economic growth, population expansion, increasing wealth of
middle income group and rapid construction of organised retail
infrastructure are the triggers for the significant growth witnessed
by this sector. With the expanding middle and upper class
consumer base, there will be substantial opportunities for the
sector in India’s tier II and III cities.
?
Entry of global companies and expansion of their chains in
different parts of the country has also been an encouraging factor
for this upbeat sentiment. Carrefour, the world’s second-largest
retailer, has opened its first cash-and-carry store in New Delhi.
Germany-based wholesale company Metro Cash & Carry (MCC)
opened its second wholesale centre at Uppal in Hyderabad, taking
its number of stores to six in the country. All such activities are
increasing the future potential for the sector and creating
opportunities for new employment generation across regions.
?
Higher growth in world economy, especially in the developed
countries in 2010, as compared to the previous year has raised the
activity levels in this sector. India’s export has grown by more than
26 per cent between April and December 2010 and import has
grown by 24 per cent during the same period, which raises
immense hope for the sector. Increase in international trade will
further raise employment by this sector. During 2010-11 India’s
export has grown by more than 26 per cent during April to
December 2010 and import has grown by 24 per cent during the
same period which raises hope for the sector.

?
As reported by the companies surveyed the expectations for the
next couple of quarters and for the entire 2011 remain optimistic.

portability is expected to increase the competition further,
amongst the service providers and in turn will lead to higher
employment generation in the coming months.

earning goods traffic by railways was higher by 2.5 per cent
during the fourth quarter of 2010 as compared to previous
quarter. Total railway traffic has grown by 3.2 per cent from April
to December 2010.

sector has not picked up the growth momentum yet. The volume
of Cargo traffic has grown by only 1.1% during first three
Quarters of 2010-11 compared to the previous year.
?
Road transport and Civil Aviation sectors have witnessed strong
growth momentum between April and December 2010.
?
Increased activity in logistics related industries is another big
booster for employment growth in this sector.

Summary and Conclusion
This Ma Foi Randstad Employment Trends Survey (MEtS) has covered employment generation and other employment related
aspects during the 4th Quarter of 2010 and has alongside captured the expectations with regard to employment
opportunities for the first two Quarters as well as for the entire year 2011.
Ma Foi Randstad Employment Trends Survey for the 1st Quarter 2010 had presented a growing sense of optimism spreading
across sectors and cities. However, the optimism was shadowed with concerns regarding the sustainability of the growth. The
subsequent reports for 2nd and 3rd Quarters showed that with the strengthening of the economy the optimism of the initial
months of 2010 had grown further and was translated into higher level of hiring activities for most of the sectors and
locations. A stable upward growth coupled with several government stimuli to boost the economy created positive
sentiments and the industry sectors were optimistic.
The current survey report also asserts that industries are confident of a stable growth of the economy and expect the same to
continue in 2011. The inter-industry movement of manpower will gain momentum along with new hiring activities at the
entry level.
The employment base of almost every sector has grown substantially during the fourth Quarter of 2010 and is showing signs
of further stable growth in 2011. Healthcare, Hospitality, IT & ITES, Education, Training and Consulting, Manufacturing
sectors are amongst the key sectors contributing to India’s employment base.
The top sectors that are likely to generate more than 200,000 jobs in 2011 are Hospitality, Real Estate & Construction, IT &
ITeS and Media & Entertainment. In terms of growth percentage, we find that Pharma, Real Estate & Construction, IT & ITeS,
Media 7 Entertainment and BFSI sectors are likely to occupy the top slots. Energy is relatively a weak performer compared to
other sectors.
The employment has shown an increasing trend in most of the cities covered in the survey. Bangalore, Pune, Delhi & NCR and
Mumbai have shown substantial increase in their employment base. The current survey estimation suggests that a total
number of 1.6 million jobs are expected to be added to the employment base of the country during the year 2011.

Indicus Analytics is an economics research and data analysis firm based in New Delhi.
Indicus examines many aspects of the Indian economy both at the national and subnational level It conducts monitoring and evaluation studies, indexation and ratings, as
well as policy research.
The endeavour of this research is to use it to broaden the public policy debate to promote
liberalism and the mechanisms of the market for the stimulation of growth in India. The
extension of the competitive market mechanism of resource allocation to the economy as
a whole requires rigorous and robust understanding of institutions that will facilitate the
extension. Indicus research thus focuses on the institutional capabilities as well as the
regulatory processes of these institutions.
Our research services have been used by academia, government, research organizations,
civil society, media, international institutions and industry. Academic institutions such as
Harvard, Cambridge, Stanford Universities; national and international government
organizations such as RBI, Finance Commission, DFID, USAID, various ministries;
international organizations such as World Bank, UNICEF, UNDP; media groups such as
India Today, Outlook, Indian Express; industry such as IKEA, Microsoft, VISA; consulting
firms such as McKinsey, BCG, E&Y; NGOs and civil society organizations such as National
Foundation of India, Liberty Institute have been some of our key sponsors.
Indicus started in December 2000 and has since become India's premier economics
research firm. National and international corporate bodies, industry associations,
governments, academia and media houses have used our research to better understand
the Indian economy and markets. Key decision-makers such as the President of India Dr.
A.P.J Abdul Kalam, the Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh and the Finance Minister Mr.
P. Chidambaram have referred to Indicus' work.
Constant interaction with national and international experts and our ongoing non-funded
research activities are the key factors that enable us to maintain a high quality of output.
Our persistent endeavor to keep abreast of new developments in research methodology
gives us the ability to bring out fresh insights from otherwise intractable information.
Most important factor behind our success has been our ability to triangulate between (i)
the objectives and motivations of the sponsor, (ii) information availability and robust
methodologies, and (iii) structure of the Indian economy. Apart from quantitative
economic research of secondary data, Indicus conducts large scale surveys, qualitative
analysis, indexation, forecasting, evaluation and monitoring, publishes white papers and
