| Table 7.1 ESTIMATED LEVEL OF EMPLOYMENT IN THE VENDING INDUSTRY % of Units Number of Units* Average Employment per Unit Total Employment Formal High Estimate 10 220 453 99600 Low Estimate 5 110 453 49830 Informal High Estimate 95 2090 166 346940 Low Estimate 90 1980 166 328680 Source Estimated from Survey Data. * assumed total number of units is 2200, as per Table 2.2 ** as revealed by the sample, given in Table 6.4 Therefore, based on the employment in the sample units and blowing-up the numbers, based in the population of 2200 domestic part manufacturers, we arrive at estimate of total employment of close to 400,000. This is more than twice our estimate earlier in Table 2.13 of 187,000. However, it is close to the SMEDA estimate of employment of 500,000. Of course, there is likely to be a substantial margin of error, given the sample size. But it is clear that the vending 67 industry is a major employer, probably employing more than fifteen times the OEMs. As such, the extent of protection provided has facilitated substantial job creation in the auto parts sector. This is not only the consequence of direct protection but also indirectly by protection to automobile companies, which has raised demand for vehicles and thereby created more derived demand for autoparts. Has the extent of tariff facilitated the process of technology deepening in the vending industry From the sample of units, we look at the nature of the production process and the level of quality control and factors influencing growth.
