Study Notes
Indian Economy Sectors
- An economy is best understood by studying its components, or sectors
- Sectoral classification is done based on several criteria
- Three types of classifications are discussed: primary/secondary/tertiary, organized/unorganized, and public/private
- Examples familiar to students and related to daily life should be emphasized
- The changing roles of sectors should be highlighted by drawing attention to the rapid growth of the service sector
- Students may need to be familiarised with fundamental concepts such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employment
- Activities can be grouped using criteria, and these groups are called sectors
- Economic activities are interconnected
- The government plays a role in providing essential services
- The primary sector is involved in natural resource-based activities (agriculture, dairy, forestry)
- The secondary sector involves transforming natural resources into manufactured goods
- The tertiary sector provides services (transportation, communication, banking)
Employment and Sectors
- The primary sector employs a large number of people
- The secondary sector has increased employment opportunities
- The tertiary sector saw higher growth in employment
- The number of workers in the organized sector, while growing, did not keep pace with the total production growth
- Underemployment(hidden unemployment) occurs when individuals are ostensibly working, but not to their full potential
- This is often seen in the agricultural sector
- There is a need for further development within the secondary and tertiary sector to create more employment opportunities, which could address underemployment in the primary sector
- The government can support the development of services or new industries to create additional employment opportunities in rural areas
- Public sector activities benefit society and may not be profitable
- Private sector activities focus on earning profits or making a return on investment
- The Indian government plays an important role in providing services and infrastructural development
- The government may provide financial help or loan to individuals or enterprises in need to help them succeed
Economic Activities Classification
- Activities in the economy can be classified based on who owns the assets and is responsible for delivering services.
- Public sector: The government owns most of the assets and delivers services.
- Private sector: Individuals or companies own the assets and deliver services (profits).
- Public services are necessary for the society and often cost the government more than a return on investment
- Private sector enterprises need support to function and produce profitable output
