Which has a better scope and why: Labor and Employment Law or Competition Law ?

These are two completely contrasting fields and to excel in either of them, one needs to have passion and dedication to work in that direction. That being said, from a neutral point of view, if one is interested in both fields equally, the scope can greatly vary depending on where the person is working and what kind of work they are doing. Competition Law is a new and upcoming field. The new Competition Act was passed relatively recently, replacing the older MRTP Act and the laws related to competition law are being shaped by various judicial pronouncements that are passed every now and then. Labour law, on the other hand, has been around for a while. It also has a wider ambit as it covers several legislation. In terms of practice, both are good career options.

While the labor laws have been made strict and also, the 2002 act made competition law more vibrant and Establishment of Competition commission made a forum thus to deal with issues arising there on. Well, you might practice labor law and competition law simultaneously to fetch better opportunities. However, preferences are individual when it comes to law but yeah, a relative practice is quite advisable. Moreover, a developing country like India. Thus, you need a competition law as better as it could be. Thus, the scope is not exhaustive yet. Also, the labor issues and employment issues and service issues are which can’t be put to end all of sudden. Thus, the scope of labour law is also not less. It shall be your choice though. However, with the growing Indian economy, the scope of competition law is better in future.
