Economic activities can be divided into primary, secondary and tertiary activities. Now let us examine these from India’* employment point of view:
(i) Primary sector : More than 60% of the population is already working in the primary sector. This sector is already facing the problem of disguised unemployment. So there is not scope for further employment.
(ii) Secondary sector : This sector absorbs only 10% of the working population. There is much scope in this sector as new manufacturing units are being set up. This sector bas the maximum capacity to absorb surplus workers of the primary sector.
(iii) Tertiary sector : Tertiary sector provides service. As the need for the service sector is increasing this sector has the ability to absorb some working population.
