Mechanisation and Rural Employment-With Some Implications for Rural Income Distribution

With Some Implications for Rural Income Distribution Martin H Billings Arjan Singh This paper attempts to infer the influence of technological changes in farm production methods on employment and income distribution among cultivators and agricultural labourers from a physical projection model. Although a less-than-perfect vehicle for such analysis, the model can provide insight into the pattern of labour displacement, its possible rate and the composition of displaced farm workers.
