Question
‘The agricultural sector has the largest share of Indian workers’. Explain.
Solution
The agricultural sector has the largest share of Indian workers. About 58.2% of total working population are cultivators and agricultural labourers, whereas only 4.2% workers are engaged in household industries and 37.6% are other workers including nonhousehold industries like trade and commerce, construction and other works.
The reasons:
(i) Government has failed to provide employment making people to fall back upon agriculture.
(ii)The other sectors have not fully developed in the country.
