agriculture, producing only a quarter of the GDP. In contrast to this, the secondary and

people. Does this mean that the workers in agriculture are not producing as much as they
could? There are also people who are not employed at all. In what ways can one increase

opportunities in the organised sector have been expanding very slowly. It is also common
to find many organised sector enterprises in the unorganised sector. They adopt such
strategies to evade taxes and refuse to follow laws that protect labourers. As a result, a
large number of workers are forced to enter the unorganised sector.
