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.
