ABSTRACT
In India, the system of reservation in the workplace has long been a divisive topic because it attempts to remedy past injustices and socioeconomic gaps between various social groups. This study looks at how effective reservation policies are in the workplace, with a particular emphasis on how they might either strengthen social divides or close socio-economic differences. This paper examines the effects of reservation policy on employment patterns, economic development, social cohesion, and perceptions of justice. It does this by drawing on a thorough examination of the literature, historical analysis, and empirical evidence. The paper examines the nuances and intricacies of affirmative action policies in India by critically analyzing arguments for and against reservation policies.
The research also explores the obstacles and constraints associated with implementing reservation policies, such as societal stigmas, legal disputes, and administrative roadblocks. In addition, the report addresses other strategies and reform ideas meant to advance inclusivity and equality in the workplace. This research article provides insights into the complex dynamics of reservation policy in employment and its implications for socioeconomic justice in India by blending many perspectives and evidence.
