Question

why the bulk of our labour in india is rural based?

Answer 1

Answer 2

The bulk of our labour in India is rural based because they were engaged in agriculture sector and when they came to urban areas they did not have any other skill.

• Rural residents have few options for increasing their incomes and their participation in the labour market.
• Rural residents must eke out a living on small, poor-quality landholdings or work as farm labourers for meagre pay.
• Many people choose not to attend schools, colleges, or other training facilities.
• Even if some do leave, some stop midway through to enter the employment.
• Numerous work options are available to urban residents. They hunt for employment that matches their qualifications and abilities.
• People in rural areas can't stay at home because their financial situation can prevent them from doing so.
• And workforce is the only sector in where they have some skill and capabilities and they are hence, employed there.

Hence, the bulk of labor in India is rural based.
