About the Book: Livelihoods and Employment in Rural India
Livelihoods and Employment in Rural India have long been a focal point for
policymakers, development professionals, and academics. It is widely believed
that the social and economic development of India—and its population—depends
heavily on the growth of rural livelihoods and employment. Over the past two to
three decades, India has experienced substantial economic growth, becoming the
fifth-largest economy in the world and aspiring to reach third place in the
coming years.
