Climatic Change and Changing Structure of Labour Force in Indian Agriculture

A few structural, technological and climatic changes in Indian agriculture involve a large variation in labor force distribution.The proportion of the agricultural labor force to the total labor force in India has declined for the past two decades and migration in the agricultural labor force has increased.It is viewed from various studies that since Indian agriculture depends mainly on climate conditions for its irrigation, unfavorable changes in climate led lower agricultural productivity and made the poor agriculture labor force poorer.
