Abstract: During the period 1972-73 to 2004-05 in rural India, the total number of workers expanded more in the non-farm sector than the farm sector with the rise in male workers being sharper than that of female workers. This enquir,y primarily based on NSS data, throws up ample evidence of the distressed state of non-farm workers.
