The Gross Domestic product of a nation has a close relationship with the total number of working people in that nation. In a every nation, as population increases, it is necessary for provides the largest opportunities for those who are looking for work or employment. If people get jobs to earn, how do they get food and other fulfill requirements in their life.
In our nation the Agricultural sector continues to be employer even now. Why didn't employment shift out of Agriculture sector ?. It is because not enough jobs were created in the industry and service sectors and Government.
More than half of the workers in the country have been working in the agricultural sector for past few decades, providing only one sixth of the GDP. In contract to this , the industry and Service sectors produce three - fourth of the GDP where as they employ only half the proportions of workers.
All service sector activities are not growing equally well. Service sector in India employs many different types of people in their sector. At one end, there are a limited number of services that employ highly skilled and educated workers. At the other end, there are a numerous number of workers engaged in services as small shopkeepers, Kirana merchants, repair persons, transport persons, etc. These people barely manage to earn a living and yet they perform these services because no alternative opportunities for work or available to them. Hence, only a part of the sector is growing in importance. The unorganised sector is characterized by small and a scattered units which have remained largely outside the control of the Government. There are rules and regulations but these are not followed or enforced. Jobs here are very low paid and not regular. There is no provision for over time, paid leave, holidays, leave due to sickness etc., Employment is not secure people can be asked to leave without any reason. When there is a some work during some seasons. Some people may be asked to leave. A lot also depend on the whims of the employer or changes in the market situation.
The Organized sector offers jobs that are most sought - after. But the employment opportunities in the Organized sector have been expanding very slowly now - a - days.
As a result, a large number of workers are forced to enter the unorganised sector jobs, which pay a very low salary. When workers lose their jobs in the Organized sector, they are depending upon the jobs in the unorganised sector with low earnings.
A large number of people should have found a decent employment in industry and Services for this has not taken place. Production in industry and Services has increased without a similar increase in employment. Most people are in the unorganised sector , barely able to find work. The increase in production is benefitting only about 8% of workers. Gradually the employment in private sectors particularly in Information technology ( IT ) field has been growing very fast depending upon the orders came from other nations. Even though IT - Professional are earning huge amounts according to their cadre. At present the IT boom is exposing very quickly and efficiently.
