India: Agriculture accounts for 16% of GVA and employs 43% of the workforce, suggesting underemployment. The services sector leads GVA at 54%, utilizing 32% of the workforce.
China: The industrial sector contributes a larger portion of GVA at 41%, with workforce distribution evenly split between services and industry.
