Question

Identify the reason for the primary sector being the largest employer in India.

• A. Not enough jobs were created in the secondary and tertiary sectors
• B. Decrease in the demand for services
• C. Decrease in the income level of the consumers
• D. Not enough clothes to work on in the secondary and tertiary sectors

Answer 1

The correct option is A Not enough jobs were created in the secondary and tertiary sectors

The primary sector remains the largest employer in India because not enough jobs were created in the secondary and tertiary sectors. However, the demand for services has grown owing to the increase in demand of education, health, communication and transportation. This has indirectly increased the demand of the agriculture sector, the level of income, and the development of information and technology sector. In fact, the government has initiated several programmes to develop skills to work in the secondary sector.
