Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In India, agriculture contributes to 67.9% of employment but it only contributes to 38.34% of rural GDP and about 12% to Indias GDP. It shows that even though structural transformation in GDP taken place rapidly, transformation in employment is very slow especially in rural areas. Keeping this, the paper examined labor market behavior in the 18 selected villages of India, with the following objectives (i) To assess the structure of work status among sample individuals, (ii) To test for segmented labor market theory. The paper uses high frequency data and measured weekly hours spent on both economic and non-economic activities for the year 2010. The paper uses simple regression techniques and estimated modified Mincer equation to determine earnings, followed by application of multinomial regression analysis to know test segmented labor markets. Still labor participation in rural India is very low with only 36.2 hours/week by men and 23.1 hours/week by women. Hours spent in non-farm activities which fetch higher wages are still limited especially among women. To some extent, the labor markets are segmented based on social background and supports segmented labor market theory based on caste, gender and assets. Results revealed that the labor markets are highly segmented based on gender. Still, individuals with land, irrigation facilities, other physical assets and belongs to upper castes are having advantage in rural labor markets. Importance of education in rural labor markets is very limited and only confine to salaried jobs which are very meager, as a result there is high unemployment among educated youth both men and women. However, parents investing heavily in education of their children with hope of getting urban employment. Illiterate women and men loaded with more hours of work in low productive paid-work and also domestic work. Some of the policy prescriptions from the study are (i) enhancing the ownership of assets like land, irrigated area through providing loans which will increase hours worked in economic activities (ii) imbibing savings habit which generally increase labor force participation rate, (iii) enhancing quality education in rural areas beyond the higher-secondary to take advantage of growing employment in salaried jobs and new emerging occupations like repair of mobiles, electric motors computer centres (iv) imparting skill development in both caste occupations and also in modern sectors and (v) balanced development of both urban and rural areas through promotion of small towns.

This book was released on 2014-07-10 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book entitled "INCOME AND EMPLOYMENT STRUCTURE OF RURAL INDIA" is a field study which starts with the existing pattern of employment of rural India especially one of the most agriculture dominated district( South 24 Parganas) of West Bengal, India. Scope of Agricultural activity has become limited due to uncertain character of monsoon and lack of irrigation facility in the off monsoon period. As a result the labour force has been migrating to Rural Non- Farm sector.I find that this sector is very dynamic and the pattern of Income and Employment has been changing with the changing pattern of technology and market opportunities. Rural Non-farm sector has the potentiality to give employment opportunity of the rural labour force. A continuous effort from government is required to develop their skill and knowledge inorder to cope with the situation. Micro finance facility is the another requirement for sustainable employment opportunity of Rural Non-farm labour force in India.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) was enacted in India with the multiple objectives of providing employment in a rights-based framework, addressing rural poverty, checking migration, and building rural infrastructure. As such, every year around 15–20 per cent of households in India overall and 30 per cent in rural India receive some form of employment share under the MGNREGA programme. This volume looks at various aspect of the scheme, its linkage with employment, agricultural wages, livelihood and food security, gender issues, and migration in rural India. It also discusses challenges in implementation, hurdles and the relative successes of the scheme. Based on primary survey data from 16 major states in the country, the findings of the study provide key insights into MGNREGA and assess the implications for other welfare-oriented programmes. Rich in empirical data, this volume will be useful to scholars and researchers of political economy, economics, agriculture, rural development and sociology, as well as policymakers and nongovernmental organisations.

This book was released on 2019-01-17 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - Topic: Development Politics, , language: English, abstract: This paper investigates how the employment generating scheme MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) is different from other employment generating scheme and finds how MGNREGA is supporting economic development by creating community/productive assets at the level of villages. Since 2000, India has experienced rapid economic growth and a sharp decline in poverty. But employment has grown more slowly. Government intervened in the economy through the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, which provides employment to unskilled workers in rural areas besides creating community/productive assets at the level of village such as wells, tanks, ponds, roads etc. This programme is designed to provide income protection against poverty in rural area. The choice of works under MGNREGA seeks to address the causes of chronic poverty such as drought, deforestation and soil erosion. MGNREGA is different from other employment and poverty alleviation programme in the sense that it is a legal framework and right to work based programme. This is a paradigm shift from its earlier programmes for it is a bottom-up, demand driven structure with built-in social audits.

Download or read book The Changing Identity of Rural India written by Elisabetta Basile and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book explores the pattern of rural development in contemporary India from a multidisciplinary and historical perspective. The essays overcome the limits of disciplinary approaches to provide a comprehensive analysis of the processes of change and growth at work in the Indian countryside and to review the social and cultural dynamics that have led to the contemporary situation. Providing an analysis of the economic, political and social changes experienced in rural India, they examine the interactions between actors and institutions at different levels. Some contributions focus on the impact of state policies on rural development and on the rationale of capitalistic expansion in the Indian countryside, while others analyse how the changes are promoted, adopted and resisted at the local level. The general issue raised in the book refers to the assessment of the nature and working of contemporary Indian rural economy. In order to analyse the complexity of the rural economy and the forms it takes in different Indian contexts, this issue has been deconstructed considering, in turn, the process of rural change, the impact of rural growth on working and living conditions, and finally the categories of the inhabitants of rural areas and the construction of their identities in colonial and post-colonial rural India.
Book Synopsis Employment and Labour Market in North-East India by : Virginius Xaxa
Download or read book Employment and Labour Market in North-East India written by Virginius Xaxa and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the structural changes in the labour market in North-East India. Going beyond the conventional study of tea and agricultural sectors, it focuses on the nature, pattern and structure of work and employment in the region as well as documents emerging shifts in the labour force towards farm to non-farm dynamics. The chapters explore historical developments in employment patterns, labour market policies, issues of gender and social-religious dimensions, as well as point to growing forms of casual, informal and contractual labour across sectors. Through large-scale data and detailed case studies on unfree labour in plantations and those employed in crafts, handloom and the manufacturing industry, the book provides insights into labour and employment in the region. It also delves into the temporal and spatial dimensions of non-farm employment and its relationship with rural income distribution and labour mobility. By bringing interdisciplinary perspectives from scholars working on North-East India, this work fills a major gap in the political economy of the labour market in the region. The volume will be useful to scholars and researchers of development studies, North-East India studies, labour studies, economics, sociology and political science as well to those involved with governance and policymaking.
Book Synopsis Rural Labour Mobility in Times of Structural Transformation by : D. Narasimha Reddy
Download or read book Rural Labour Mobility in Times of Structural Transformation written by D. Narasimha Reddy and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-12 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines essential issues and perspectives on rural labour, helping readers understand the changes that are currently taking place in the labour markets, especially with regard to migrants from rural to urban areas, their socio-economic conditions, factors contributing to such mobility and associated problems. Further, it addresses the question of why the socio-economic conditions of rural labour have not experienced measurable improvements. Presenting a collection of painstakingly researched essays that focus on both India and China, the book addresses these challenges with an explicit focus on safeguarding the interests of rural labour under the neoliberal dispensation. The research is based on primary survey data and analytical issues from selected Asian economies, especially from India. On the basis of the findings discussed, it subsequently suggests ways forward so as to improve the wellbeing of migrant households and put an end to distress migration. Lastly, the book convincingly argues that improving labour market outcomes, and more specifically, generating employment and providing alternative livelihood avenues, represents the most pressing challenge in rural areas.
Book Synopsis The Rural-Urban Nexus in India's Economic Transformation by : Tsukasa Mizushima

This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes and analyzes the transformation of Indian economy taking into account historical changes and present dynamics of the rural-urban nexus. India has recently experienced a period as a high-performing economy, with the great improvement of indices of human development, including literacy rates, life expectancy, child mortality rates and others. In contrast to this bright outlook, features such as the retarded growth of women’s average height, the noticeable gap between male and female population, the overwhelming proportion of informal employment in the manufacturing sector, or increasing pollution overshadow India’s future, in some cases pose a threat to lifestyle and environment. Examining the rural–urban nexus where the new transformative dynamics of Indian socio-economy is most conspicuous, the contributors to this book shed light on the actual changes taking place at the bottom of Indian society through regional comparisons and spatial differentiation. The book offers unique perspectives on the topic produced mostly by Japanese scholars, including analysis of original data, that have hitherto been unavailable and inaccessible to an international audience. As the first book published on the rural–urban nexus in India, this book will be of interest to researchers studying South Asian History, Economics, Politics, Geography, Sociology and Anthropology, Development Studies and Economic History.
