उत्तर
The occupational composition of India’s population shows a large proportion of primary sector workers compared to secondary and tertiary sectors. In India, about 58.2 percent of the total working population are cultivators and agricultural laborers, whereas only 4.2% of workers are engaged in household industries and 37.6 % are other workers including non-household industries, trade, commerce, construction and repair, and other services. India is an agricultural country with a maximum population engaged in it as job opportunities in the other sectors are limited due to the low rate of infrastructural development. Workers are declining over the last few decades from 66.85% in 1991 to 58% in 2001 leading to rising in the share of the tertiary sector.
