Emerging Trendsin Rural Employment Structure And Rural Labor Markets In India, A Amarender Reddy, D Narasimha Reddy, Nagaraj N, Bantilan Mcs

India is likely to continue for several decades as a country with the largest share of rural population in the world. Rural labor and the sources of their employment are not only predominantly informal but also not very productive in nature, and often spread across several activities. Though estimates of visible unemployment are very low, under-employment is widely prevalent. Rural employment, which was for a long time considered as equal to employment in agriculture, is no longer true. During the last two decades there have been rapid changes in the structure of rural employment, and rural non-farm employment has been …

Dynamics Of Rural Labour Markets: Evidence From Longitudinal Panel Data In India, A Amarender Reddy
A Amarender Reddy
Given the slow structural transformation of employment in rural areas in India, this paper tries to probe into the structural transformation in semi-arid tropics of India, by using high frequency longitudinal panel data from 1975 to 2010. The results show that, up to early 1980s, structural transformation was very slow and most of the workers dependent on agriculture for their livelihoods. Most of the workers are spent more days in self-employment in agriculture with very few days in paid work. Both men and women have more leisure time during the 1970s compared to early 2000s. However, from 2001 onwards, there …

Trends In Rural Wage Rates: Whether India Reached Lewis Turning Point, A Amarender Reddy
A Amarender Reddy
After liberalisation of Indian economy in early 1990s, India’s GDP growth rates have been picked up and there is a sign of speeding up of structural transformation in Indian economy with the share of agriculture in GDP reduced to 12%. However, still about 50% of the labor force depends on agriculture, which shows that the structural transformation in employment is slower and productivity differences between agriculture and non-agricultural sector is growing. Some studies that the high economic growth has not been able to translate itself into increase in the wages and earnings of the workforce. Some other studies find that …
