Program Rationale:
Labour law has historically mediated the relationship between labour and capital. Its trajectory reflects shifts in social justice, economic policy, and constitutional mandates:
Pre‑1991 Era: Characterised by strong legislative and judicial protection of workers’ rights, emphasising social and economic justice.
Post‑1991 Era (Liberalisation, Privatisation, Globalisation): Labour law increasingly viewed as a barrier to trade and investment, leading to reforms that prioritised economic efficiency and capital interests, often at the expense of worker protections.
Contemporary Challenges: With the implementation of the Four Labour Codes (Industrial Relations, Wages, Social Security, and Occupational Safety & Health), there is a pressing need for a multi‑disciplinary approach that integrates economics, sociology, management, technology, and constitutional law.
This program is designed to equip participants with the tools to critically analyse labour law in theory and practice, while addressing its evolving role in a globalised economy.
Objectives:
The program seeks to:
Develop a critical understanding of labour jurisprudence in its social and economic contexts.

Explore intersections between labour law and allied fields such as constitutional law, corporate law, competition law, and intellectual property.
Evaluate labour law through the lens of social and economic justice, constitutional mandates, and political frameworks.
Integrate perspectives from management, economics, sociology, political science, and technology.
Assess the role of the legislature, executive, and judiciary in shaping labour law in the 21st century.
