Answer 1

Climate change is affecting the traditional livelihood options of thousands of families living in the rural areas in the highly eco-sensitive North eastern state of Assam, and they are migrating to other works which includes daily wage labour for the men and weaving for the women.

In the rural areas in the state, a majority of the families have been traditionally dependent on farming, but now with climate change, there has been a change in the rainfall pattern and also the flood intensity, which is making agriculture difficult in many areas in the state,” said Girin Chetia, who is associated with the non-profit North East Affected Areas Development Society (NEADS).

Answer 2

CHANGE IN OCCUPATIONAL STRUCTURE AND INCOME LEVEL Occupation is the basis of livelihood. Occupation pattern, according to economic activities influence the total life of a society. The occupation of an individual refers to his trade, profession and type of work. The occupational structure of a society is the products of a number of intimately related factors. The nature and variety of physical resource base, of course, lays down the basic foundation in the form of good land for agriculture, indented coast for fishing, thick vegetable cover for forestry, rich geological strata for mining etc. When the primary resources are utilized on a commercial scale, it generates diversification of occupational structure. That is why as long as the world agriculture remained at subsistence level; there was not much diversification of occupation. The diversification process gets further impetus from industrialization, because industrialization generates a variety of traditional jobs. Advancement of science and technology introduces elements of specialization in the occupational composition by creating highly specialized types of jobs. These entire development together breed a new urban culture which is more service oriented. This modifies the occupational structure considerably (Chandana,2004).
