Study the following table carefully and answer the questions that follow:
Question: 1
Why is there a large difference between primary and tertiary categories of female workers in India?
Show Hint
The massive concentration of female workers in the primary sector represents disguised unemployment and a lack of skill development, which restricts their transition to formal service sector jobs.
Explain the reason of low variation between male workers of 'primary' and 'tertiary' sectors in India (based on the 2011 Sectoral Composition Table).
Show Hint
The low variation in male employment indicates a structural shift where surplus male agricultural labor has progressively migrated to cities and been absorbed by the expanding service (tertiary) economy.
Why does the 'secondary sector' have such a low contribution ($3.8\%$) in India's workforce (based on the 2011 Sectoral Composition Table)?
Show Hint
India's economic structural transition is often termed “Jobless Growth” or “Services-led growth” because the service sector expanded rapidly without a corresponding expansion in manufacturing jobs (secondary sector).
