Answer :- One should focus on employment and GDP as they both play vital role in the development of the country.
GDP is the sum total of final goods from all three sectors of the economy.
When employment will be more there will be more production. With increase in employment and GDP country’s National income and per capita income increases.

a living. In what way can you classify them? Explain your choice.
Answer :- People around us are involved in different types of works for a living. We can classify them on the basis of three sectors of economic activity such as Primary sector, secondary sector and tertiary sector.
People are working in agricultural field, fisheries, mining, vegetables selling, are comes under Primary sector.

industry and are related to production of valuable goods are concerned with Secondary
sector.
People who are providing us services like Education,
Health facilities, Banking and Insurance, transportation are comes under
Tertiary sector.
9. How is the tertiary sector
different from other sectors? Illustrate with a few examples.
Answer:-
The tertiary
sector is different from other two sectors as it directly not produce any
products rather it helps in the process of production and creates services like
transportation, marketing, Banking, Hospitality etc.
Tertiary sector’s contribution can not be measurable
like Primary and secondary sector. One can not express how much services
created numerically, Whereas the output in Primary and Secondary sector are
visible. So, the activities that help in the development of
primary and secondary sectors are called tertiary activities.
For example – Cultivation of cotton is falls under
primary sector, then it is send to industries for manufacturing and the final
product is send to the market with the help of transportation, in the market
the shopkeepers sells the product and service is created. All types of services
are comes under Tertiary sector.

The workers in the unorganised sector need protection on the following issues :
wages, safety and health. Explain with examples.
Answer
: The
workers in Organised sectors workers in small and scattered units. There no
government rules and regulations are being followed. So there workers suffers a
lot in term of their wages, safety and health.. We can better understand this
after going through the following points-
Wages – The
workers in unorganised sectors gets very low wages in comparison to their work.
They also do not get their payments regularly , there is no specific time for
getting salary. For example a labourer in any Industry works for 12 hours and
barely gets 300 rupees.
Safety – No
safety provided to the workers in unorganised sectors. There is no Job
security. Suppose a Driver takes leave for some personal reasons for few months
in his place the owner may remove him from his Job.
Health – Workers
in unorganised sectors does not assures any Health facilities to the workers.
They also not bother for the health conditions of the workers. Even in job
place any accident occurs to any workers then the company do not bear the
responsibility. There is no sick leave for the labourers working in different
unorganised sectors.
23. A study in Ahmedabad found
that out of 15,00,000 workers in the city, 11,00,000 worked in the unorganised
sector. The total income of the city in this year (1997-1998) was Rs 60,000
million. Out of this Rs 32,000 million was generated in the organised sector.
Present this data as a table. What kind of ways should be thought of for
generating more employment in the city?
Answer :
|
- |
Organised

Unorganised

Total |
|
No. of

4,00,000 |
11,00,000 |
15,00,000 |
|
Income
(Rs) |
32,000

28,000

60,000
million |
It is clear from the above data that though a larger portion of
workers are involved in the unorganised sector, the per capita earning is more in
the organized sector. Thus the government should encourage the entrepreneurs in
the unorganised sector to change them into the organized sector. For this, the
government must provide loans and aid to companies transferring from
unorganised to organised sectors.
24. The following table gives the GDP in
Rupees (Crores) by the three sectors:

48,500 |
1,33,500 |
|
2013 |
8,00,500 |
10,74,000 |
38,68,000 |
(i) Calculate the share of the three
sectors in GDP for 2000 and 2013.
(ii) Show the data as a bar diagram similar to Graph 2 in the chapter.
(iii) What conclusions can we draw from the bar graph?
Answer : The share of three sectors in GDP for 2000 and 2013 are –(i) In 2000, primary sector = 22.22%, secondary sector = 20.73%, tertiary sector = 57.04% And In 2013, primary sector = 13.94% secondary sector = 18.70%, tertiary sector = 67.36%

tertiary sector in the GDP has increased by 10%, while that of the primary
sector has almost halved. The secondary sector has grown by about 2% in the
last 13 years.
