Point to note: migrant workers from other states are needed to work in the southern farms. The missing farm labour force are invisibly employed elsewhere. I would wager that it is in the tech sector.
- just4tscomment 6y agoI disagree. I took a look at Labour Report by the Government of India, https://labour.gov.in/sites/default/files/Report%20Vol%203%20final.pdf https://labour.gov.in/sites/default/files/Report%20Vol%203%2..., which is based on the 2011 census data. A large portion of India's population is still poorly skilled. Besides, the tech sector has a higher barrier to entry compared to the blue collar and agricultural sector.
- jelliclesfarm 6y agoThat’s a decade old. Remember California in 2011? How many unicorns in SV post 2010?
- just4tscomment 6y agoWell, I'll say that Indian state demographics change slower than those of 'developed' countries. Besides, California is an outlier, even within the States.
