Answer:
Historically
it is observed that all the developed countries once were dominated with
Primary sector in the past then industrial activities are increased and
structure of employment shift towards Secondary sector and finally now the
Tertiary sector dominates both the employment and contribution to GDP among
developed nation,
When we compare this pattern with Indian economy we will found some
contrasting features. In 1973 it was dominated by Primary sector and gradually
the Secondary and Tertiary sectors grew up and now by 2003 Tertiary sector contributed
more than 50 per cent of the GDP almost 11 times higher than that of the
situation in 1973.
But the employment structure did not shift comparatively.
Primary sector contributed nearly 20 per cent to the GDP but hold more than 60
per cent of the workforce because Industrial sector and Tertiary sector did not
produce much employment opportunities. This is a contrasting feature and it
promotes disguised unemployment. So, even Tertiary sector now dominates in
India, still it is not a developed country.
