Thus, the attempt to protect workers with rigid labor laws may have the unintended consequence of generating too few protected jobs. This may be the situation in India, where most workers have few rights, and the few large firms that are established in the formal sector tend to use a lot of labor-saving capital in order to avoid hiring protected workers.
因此，用僵化的劳动法保护工人可能造成受保护岗位奇缺的意外后果。印度应当就属于这种情况，那里多数工人没有权利，而少数正规部门根深蒂固的大企业则愿意大笔投资减少人员雇佣，以避免雇佣受保护的劳动者。
