Where are most of the people …

1. The primary sector continues to be the largest employs even in the year2000.

2. Even though industrial output or production of goods went up by 8 times during the period, employment in the industry went up by 2.5 times.

3. More than half of the workers in the country are working in the primary sector mainly in the agriculture.

4. The secondary and tertiary sectors produce three fourths of the produce when they employ less than half of the people.

5. There are more people in agriculture than is necessary. So even if a few people are moved out, production will not be affected as workers in the agricultural sectors are underemployed.

6. Kind of underemployment is hidden in contrast to someone who does’nt have a job.

7. It means that even if we remove a lot of people from agricultural sector and provide them with proper work elsewhere, agriculture production will not suffer.

8. There are thousand of casual workers in the service sector in urban areas who search for daily employment. They are employed as painters, plumbers repair workers etc. Many of them do not find work everyday. There may be people who spend the whole day but earn very little.
