what do you understand by term labour welfare? What is it all about? classical economics and all micro-economics labour is one of four factors of production, the others being land, capital and enterprise. It is a measure of the work done by human beings. There are macro-economic system theories which have created a concept called human capital (referring to the skills that workers possess, not necessarily their actual work), although there are also counterpoising macro-economic system theories that think human capital is a contradiction in terms. The term welfare suggests the state of well being and implies wholesomeness of the human being. It is a desirable state of existence involving the mental, physical, moral and emotional factor of a person Adequate levels of earnings, safe and humane conditions of work and access to some minimum social security benefits are the major qualitative dimensions of employment which enhance quality of life of workers and their productivity. Institutional mechanisms exist for ensuring these to workers in the organized sector of the economy. These are being strengthened or expanded to the extent possible. However, workers in the unorganized sector, who constitute 90 per cent of the total workforce, by and large, do not have access to such benefits. Steps need to be taken on a larger scale than before to improve the quality of working life of the unorganized workers, including women workers. Labor welfare is the key to smooth employer-employee relations. In order to increase labor welfare, Employers offer extra incentives in the form of labour welfare schemes, and to make it possible to pursued workers to accept mechanization. Sometimes the employers to combat the influence of outside agencies on their employees, use labor welfare as a tool to minimize the effect they may have on the labour. labour welfare measures are also initiated with the view to avoiding payment of tax on surplus and to build up at the same time better relations with employees. there are some theories which constitutes the conceptual frame framework of the labour welfare, describe these theories Several theories constituting the conceptual framework of labour welfare have so far been outlined these are Policy theory

Policy theory:This theory is based on the contention that a minimum standard of welfare is necessary for workers. The assumption on which the theory is based is the without compulsion, supervision and fear of punishment, no employer will provide even the barest minimum of welfare facilities for workers this theory is based on the assumption that man is selfish and self –centered, and always tries to achieve his own ends, even at the cost of the welfare of others. According to this theory, owners and managers of industrial undertakings make use of every opportunity to engage in this kind of exploitation. The sate has therefore to step in to prevent exploitation by enacting stiff laws to coerce industrialists into offering a minimum standard of welfare to their workers. Such interference it is felt is in the interests of the progress and welfare of the state as well. Laws are enacted to compel management to provide minimum wages, congenial working conditions and reasonable hours of work and social security. The policy theory involves several stages of implementation Enactments

Periodical supervision
Punishment
Religious theoryThe theory views were an essentially religious. Religious feelings are what sometimes prompt employers to take up welfare activities in the belief of benefits either in his life or in support after life. Any good work is considered an investment, because both the benefactor and the beneficiary are benefited by the good work done by the benefactor. This theory does not take into consideration that the workers are not beneficiaries but rightful claimants...
