Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Document from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - General, grade: 9, language: English, abstract: Currently in India we are observing that the number of labours are shifting from agriculture sector to other sectors of economy. The labour transition occurs due to several reasons one of the main reason is that the fixed wage rate in other sectors as compared to agriculture sector. In this context the Lewis model provides a good framework for explaining the ways in which the fruits of economic development are spread. Lewis divided developing economy into two sectors: subsistence and capital sector. He assumed that the subsistence sector was characterised by surplus labour and low real wages whereas capital sector characterised by capital intensive production and higher real wages. If we transfer excess labour from agriculture to capital sector it will not affect the production and productivity of subsistence sector and it will increase the production in capital sector which will help in development of economy. Lewis' model is mainly applicable surplus labour countries. If we take the example of China, Africa, Cambodia and Vietnam which have evidenced the Lewis model we can compare the India with those countries .China, Africa, Cambodia and Vietnam were gone through enormous labour transition which helped in the development of economy of the respective countries. Migration of workforce in India characterised by a shift of predominant share of agriculture to manufacturing activities and service sector.

Download or read book The Indian Economy in Transition written by Anjan Chakrabarti and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-22 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking the period following the advent of liberalization, this book explains the transition of the Indian economy against the backdrop of development. If the objective is to explore the new economic map of India, then the distinct contributions in the book could be seen as twofold. The first is the analytical frame whereby the authors deploy a unique Marxist approach consisting of the initial concepts of class process and the developing countries to address India's economic transition. The second contribution is substantive whereby the authors describe India's economic transition as epochal, materializing out of the new emergent triad of neo-liberal globalization, global capitalism and inclusive development. This is how the book theorizes the structural transformation of the Indian economy in the twenty-first century. Through this framework, it interrogates and critiques the given debates, ideas and policies about the economic development of a developing nation.

Download or read book Employment in India written by Ajit Kumar Ghose and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-20 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last two decades, a fascinating growth story has unfolded in India. Yet, the improvement in material conditions for the country’s vast majority has not kept pace with that growth. This is mainly because India is still grappling with poor employment conditions and widespread unemployment. However, there is not much clarity on the exact nature of this problem and the steps required to tackle it. This short introduction addresses this lack of information. Reviewing the evolution of employment conditions in India since Independence, this volume underscores the linkages between it and economic growth and development. It not only clearly outlines the contours of the employment challenge that India is now confronted with but also discusses viable ways of overcoming this hurdle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accumulation, Exchange, and Development focuses on the differentiated structures of production and exchange prevalent in a developing economy and the interrelation among the dynamics of accumulation. Combining certain basic principles of classical political economy with specific studies on the Indian economy, the author points to a theory that can be developed. In the first part, Bharadwaj delineates the contrasting structures of classical political economy and the now dominant neoclassical theory. The second part explores the structure of the Indian agrarian economy and contains, among others, seminal ideas of interlinked markets. The last section raises issues on the contradictory course of Indian development. "This book is perhaps one of the most conceptual and informative ones in the existing literature of its like . . . .
