• Answer:

  The classification of economic activities into primary, secondary and tertiary is useful on account of the information, it provides on how and where the people of a country are employed. Also this helps in ascertaining as to which sector of economic activity contributes more or less to the country's GDP and per capita income. If the tertiary sector is developing much faster than the primary sector, then it implies that agriculture is depleting, and the government must take measures to rectify this. The knowledge that the agricultural profession is becoming unpopular or regressive can only come if we know which sector it belongs to. Hence, it is necessary to classify economic activities into these three sectors for smooth economic administration and development.

• Answer:

  For each of the sectors mentioned we should focus on employment and GDP. This is because growth in GDP and full employment are common goals of Five Year Plans and they also determine the size of a country's economy, A focus on employment and GDP helps us to calculate and monitor important factors like per capita income, productivity, changes in employment rate and contribution to GDP by the three sectors of economy and thus, take necessary steps required for the improvement of the country's economy as a whole. Yes, the other issues which should be examined are             1. Balanced regional development.   2. Equality in income and wealth among the people of the country.   3. How to eradicate poverty.   4. Modernization of technology.   5. Self-reliance of the country. 6. How to achieve surplus food production in the country.

• Answer:

  The tertiary sector is different from the other two sectors because the other sectors produce goods but this sector does not produce goods by itself. Instead, the tertiary sector activities help in the development of the primary and secondary sectors. These activities are an aid or support for the production process, e.g., transport, communication, storage, banking, insurance, trade activities etc. For this reason this sector is also known as service sector.

• Answer:

  Disguised unemployment is a kind of unemployment in which some people look like being employed but are actually not employed fully. This situation is also known as Hidden Unemployment. In such a situation more people are engaged in a work than required. For example in rural areas, this type of unemployment is generally found in agricultural sector, e.g., in a family of nine people who are all working in the same agricultural plot, even if four of them are withdrawn, there is no reduction in the output from the plot. So, these four people are actually disguisedly employed. In urban areas, this type of unemployment can be seen mostly in service sector. An example is of a family, whose all members are working in one shop or a small business, but which can actually be managed by a fewer number of members of the family.

• Answer:

  Open Unemployment When a country's labour force does not get opportunities for adequate employment, this situation is called open unemployment. This type of unemployment is generally found in the industrial sector (e.g., when workers of a factory are laid off due to its closure) and landless agricultural labourers in rural areas.    Disguised Unemployment This is a kind of unemployment in which there are people who are visibly employed but actually they don't have full employment. In such a situation more people are engaged in a work than required. This type of unemployment is generally found in unorganized sector where either work is not constantly available or too many people are employed for the same work that does not require so many hands.

• Answer:

  No, I do not agree with this.   The reasons are as follows—  1. In terms of GDP, this sector emerged as the largest producing sector in India in 2003, surpassing the primary and secondary sectors. In 1973, the share of the tertiary sector in GDP was about 35%, which increased to more than 50% in 2003. Over the thirty years between 1973 and 2003, while production in all three sectors increased, it has increased the most in tertiary sector.   2. In terms of employment also, the rate of growth of employment in tertiary sector between 1973 and 2000 was nearly 250%. This growth was much less in the primary sector.
