On a visit to India, German Labour Minister Karl-Josef Laumann may have found India’s working standards wanting and felt ill at ease over reports of child labour. But one aspect of the country’s workforce has sure left him impressed – the energy of its young working population.
Laumann was quite happy to see numerous youth employed as chauffeurs, smartly-dressed hotel executives and factory workers — a pleasant change from things back home. He said Germany would welcome skilled Indians to work there.
But his catchphrase was for the end: “Personally, like in India, I would like to open more crches, than old age homes.”
