Economic & Political Weekly Supplement EPW, June 29, 2013. vol xlviII nos 26 & 27 - "The Stunted Structural Transformation of the Indian Economy Agriculture, Manufacturing and the Rural Non-Farm Sector" by Hans P Binswanger-Mkhize
Excerpt
"India’s economy has accelerated sharply since the late 1980s, but agriculture has not. The rural population and
labour force continue to rise, and rural-urban migration remains slow. Despite a rising labour productivity
differential between non-agriculture and agriculture, limited rural-urban migration and slow
agricultural growth, urban-rural consumption, income, and poverty differentials have not been rising.
Urban-rural spillovers have become important drivers of the rapidly growing rural non-farm sector, which now
generates the largest number of jobs in India. Rural non-farm self-employment is especially dynamic with
farm households diversifying into the sector to increase income. The bottling up of labour in rural areas means
that farm sizes will continue to decline, agriculture will continue its trend to feminisation, and part-time farming
will become the dominant farm model."
