Answers
Answer:
An economy is best understood when we
study its components or sectors. Sectoral
classification can be done on the basis of
several criteria. In this chapter, three
types of classifications are discussed:
primary/secondary/tertiary; organised/
unorganised; and public/private. You can
create a discussion about these types by
taking examples familiar to the students
and relate them to their daily life. It is
important to emphasise the changing
roles of sectors. This can be highlighted
further by drawing attention of the
students to the rapid growth of service
sector. While elaborating the ideas
provided in the chapter, the students may
need to be familiarised with a few
fundamental concepts such as Gross
Domestic Product, Employment etc. Since
the students may find this difficult to
understand, it is necessary to explain to
them through examples. Several activities
and exercises are suggested in the chapter
to help the students understand how a
person’s activity could be placed —
whether in the primary, secondary or
tertiary, organised or unorganised, and
public or private sector. You may
encourage the students to talk to various
working people around them (such as
shop owners, casual workers, vegetable
vendors, workshop mechanics, domestic
workers etc.) to know more about how they
live and work. Based on such information,
the students can be encouraged to
develop their own classification of
economic activities.
Another important issue to be
highlighted is about the problems caused
by the changes in the roles of sectors.
The chapter has taken the example of
unemployment and what the government
can do to solve it. The declining importance
of agriculture and growing importance of
industry and services should be related
to the experience of the children by taking
more examples that they may observe in
their day-to-day life. Information derived
from the media could be used for this
purpose. You may encourage the students
to bring important cuttings and stories
from newspapers, which could be
prominently displayed in storyboards, and
encourage the class to discuss these
issues. While discussing the unorganised
sector, the key issue of protecting the
workers engaged in the sector should be
highlighted. You may also encourage the
students to visit persons and enterprises
in the unorganised sector and get a first
hand experience from real life situation.
Sources for Information
The GDP data used in this chapter
pertaining to Gross Domestic Product at
Factor Cost by Industry of Origin at
2011–12 prices is taken from Real Time
Handbook of Statistics on Indian Economy.
It is a valuable source of GDP and other
information relating to the Indian economy.
For evaluation purposes, particularly to
develop the analytical ability of learners,
teachers can refer to this report through
the Internet to get data for different years.
Due to change in methodology, latest data
is not used in the chapter.
The employment figures are based
on data taken from the five-yearly surveys
on employment and unemployment
conducted by the National Sample Survey
Organisation (NSSO) now known as
National Statistical Office (NSO). NSO is
an organisation under the Ministry of
Statistics and Programme Implementation,
Government of India. The website you can
