Question

Answer 1

 Farm labourers come either from landless families or families cultivating small plots of land. Unlike farmers, farm labourers do not have a right over the crops grown on the land. Instead they are paid wages by the farmer for whom they work. Wages can be in cash or in crops. A farm labourer might be employed on a daily basis, or for one particular farm activity like harvesting. Now a days, it has become more difficult for the farm labourers to find their work on the farms, as the farm owners are purchasing modern machines like harvesters, which in turn makes them unemployed during the season of harvesting. The one who works on a daily basis has to look regularly for work.

1. The Economic Survey of 2004 and 2005 shows that rural employment has

declined from 60% to 57% in just one year. The days of work of agricultural

labour have reduced from 122 in the eighties to about 72 days now.

2. A recent study of Punjab and Haryana's Green Revolution shows that the

decline in employment of farm labourers is more significant in the areas where

mechanised and corporatised agriculture is being practised.

3. By introducing labour saving machinery, using pesticides and shifting

from grain production to cash crops the landlords are squeezing out higher

profits by reducing jobs and increasing the work load.
