摘要：One of very important dimensions that are directly related to welfare of people and human resource development is provision of employment and livelihood to the people. As a result of high population growth there has been much larger addition of labour force than anticipated during 1991-2001 in the state. But here it is mentionable that most of the additional labours although not openly unemployed are those whose participation in the labour markets exists under highly distress conditions. If we look at the compound annual growth rate of employment in Bihar for the year 1993-94 and 1999-2000 this has been 2.8 percent as against 1.02 per cent at the All India Level. The higher growth of employment in the state compared to all India, however, does not represent a positive trend as most of the addition to the workforce in the state during the nineties has largely been absorbed by already saturated agricultural sector. This is a clear reflection of distress led high labour participation in aquaculture in the absence of other employment avenues. As a result, Agriculture sector employing more than three-fourth of workforce shows a net fall in the labour productivity per worker. During the period 1993-94 to 1999-2000,the annual growth rate of labour productivity in the agriculture sector has negative (- 0.2). This primary requirement for tackling the employment scenario in Bihar. Hence, workforce to more productive alternative sectors, particularly to secondary and tertiary sector activities for nonfarm sector activities.
