Types of Economic Activities
- Economic activities are classified into sectors based on the nature of work:
- Primary sector: Directly uses natural resources, like farming and mining.
- Secondary sector: Processes raw materials from the Primary sector into goods and services, including manufacturing and construction.
- Tertiary sector: Provides services that aid the Primary and Secondary sectors, like transport, education, and healthcare.
Changes in Sectors over Time
- The Tertiary sector has grown significantly in India since 1973-74, now the largest producing sector.
Why is Underemployment a Concern?

Strategies to Increase Employment

Other Sectors:

- Developing tourism and regional crafts can create jobs.
-
Government Initiatives:
