Formal Sector Puns

• Muslims constitute a mere 2.67% of directors and senior executives — 62 of the 2,324 executives — among the BSE 500 companies.

• These top executives took home 3.14% of the total remuneration drawn by this group.

• The BSE 500 corresponds to almost 93% of the m-cap on the stock exchange.

• The Muslim employment figure in senior management for BSE-100 companies, in comparison, goes up slightly to 4.60% — 27 of 587 — of total directors and senior executives, though the remuneration drops to 2.56%.

• It’s not only the private sector which employs few Muslims in its hierarchies as other estimates indicate that the share of Muslims in government jobs is also low; it’s less than half of their share of the population.

• Muslims constitute 14% of the population but only 3% of the formal sector.

Hello! Looking for advice and guidance. I currently have a stable career as a R&D statistician in medical devices (I'm early 30's for reference). I'm at a point where I do not enjoy my career (really just burnt out day-in-day-out) and am looking to switch careers entirely. I have always been a nature-lover and am the happiest when I'm outdoors. My biggest snag is I have no formal education in environmental science, biology, forestry, or anything of the sort and am not entirely sure where to begin?

From the research I've done, it seems I would be happiest in a career that falls under the umbrella of "park naturalist" because I enjoy education, prefer to be outside, and have experience with analyzing data due to my current work.

Thoughts? Advice? Or is this a pipe dream?

(this is a rant)

I do not think I have ever seen a virologist, an immunologist, an epidemiologist, hospitalist, EM physician, nor a global health specialist or admin lecture a physicist on how to build a rocket ship or run a multi-billion dollar aerospace industry.

I have never seen them look at the fuel measurements, the approximated cost of metal shipments, or the blueprints for landing gear and tell Elon Musk how to do something better.

The arrogance is baffling.

And here we have Elon Musk throwing stats around with implications he doesn't understand.

Physicists, economists, business owners, politicians, lawyers, do not need a single year of basic biology to earn their titles and accreditation . Yet, during this pandemic they are seen lecturing Global Health specialists and direct health care providers on how this virus functions.

I believe Public Health intersects between every area of life, every profession, every community.However, I do not believe people calling for the halt of very delicate, intricate and complicated initiatives should be people who have absolutely no background or experience in health care - yet it's so normal.

And not just by the common public, but by incredibly influential people who claim to have respect for field of high study/specialization.

Medicine is notoriously a field of practice that takes years of study, training, and mentoring to even reach a status of qualification for the very simplest procedures.How did it suddenly become a field where the layman has an opinion more noteworthy than people who have dedicated their lives to this, both in study and practice? And have recently died for it?

If you see a contradictory stat - why not sit down, listen, and ask questions rather than sharing an "aha!" moment?

Why is it so easy for people to do this about black holes, gravitational waves, computer science, photography, plumbing, fucking refrigeration?

And they say doctors are arrogant...

So basically both income and expenditure are being taxed (double taxation?!). And they wonder why consumers aren't spending much!

I'm in Perth and am well aware that historically, if a business wants cash payment, they are probably doing some form of tax evasion. Now that more payments are on the books due to the need to do card payments, I wondered if this has changed things in a noticeable way in the stats.

In a similar note, I have noticed a lot of help wanted signs. I assume a big part of this is that foreign students and backpackers are no longer available to work at illegal wages. Has this also been looked at by anyone?

If our current labour laws of 40+ central labour laws and over 200 state laws is so pro poor, protects the labourers blah blah, then why are barely any labourers covered by them? Why are there so many contract workers? Why are there so many poor labourers who dont have any protection? Why are so few workers in the formal sector? Why did Bangladesh and Vietnam with more relaxed labour laws surge past India from a much poorer position? Why is that within India, areas with relaxed labour laws have significantly more formal sector jobs, factories, and large MNC investments, namely in SEZs and industrial parks? Why should unproductive workers or those who don't show up to work shouldnt be fired? Why should government permission be needed if you want to fire workers in factories > 100 workers?

IMO, the current labour laws need to be nuked. Only laws related to minimum wage and bonded labour needs to kept. Hire and Fire should be allowed and encouraged to kick out unproductive workers. Large Unions should be banned and only small local level unions should be allowed, that too with government approval, as unions are a curse most of the time
