This paper
is principally focused on the employment trends in India during 1983-2010 with
a focus on the latest employment figure from NSS, 2009-10. The results indicate
that Work Participation Rate has declined for all segments of population except
rural male, particularly in 2009-10. Among the industrial distribution, agriculture
and manufacturing made negative contributions to the increase in employment,
whereas construction played the dominant role followed by finance, insurance
and real estate and business services and electricity, gas and water sector. The proportion of both male and female in
both the areas engaged in the agricultural activities gradually fell. On the other
hand, there has been an increase in the proportion of both male and female
engaged in industrial and services sector. In terms of status of employment, SE
group has declined with the increasing share of CL and RW employment where the
CL benefited most of it.
