This book addresses the question of how so much growth and technical change has occurred in Indian agriculture while the position of agricultural workers has remained relatively unchanged. Focusing on the employees, this study describes an area in Southern India which is known for agricultural development. The author discusses the increase in numbers and proportion of agricultural workers, the stagnation and marginal decline of wage rates and earnings, the property-less status of agricultural workers, consumption, and indebtedness. An original contribution to the study of markets and development studies, this work shows how limited the changes in agriculture are in India.

Author: K. S. KrishnaswamyPublisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 438
Book Description
While there has been a perceptible increase in per capita income and expenditure and possibly some decline in the incidence of poverty in India, what till remains is massive and will not be remedied quickly. Even with radical policies, to effect a large change in the shifts in income and occupational structures will take more than the rest of this century. In the welter of recent exchanges between the government and the oppostiion as well as between planners and market advocates on the strategy of growth, these issues have been largely obfuscated. This selection of articles from Economic and Political Weekly on different aspects of poverty, unemployment and income distribution will stimulate fresh discusssion of the many methodological and policy questions that remain unresolved.
