The disparities of employment fall into both the buckets of rural and urban arenas. This paper highlights the critical analysis of this divide through several bases in the socio-economic model. It underlines the legal framework and related challenges that imbalance the economic structure. This paper also examines the policy innovations that help to break the cycle of disparity running on the roads of employment. The major causes of underemployment and labour market exclusion are frequently not addressed by these different government initiatives to create jobs, which continue to be dispersed and uneven. Hence, this paper delves into the realm of employment divide, where both legal challenges and policy initiatives for job creation shall be examined as a tool of constitutional justice and social equity.
