Agricultural Underemployment in Rajasthan

An attempt is made in this paper to measure the extent of rural underemployment in Rajasthan. Underemployment in this context is defined simply as the difference between the availability and requirement of labour, estimated by statistical procedures which are outlined in Section I where the methodology is discussed. Section It gives the results of the exercise, and the estimates of underemployment are broken down regionally according to districts as well as seasonally for the kharif and rabi seasons, respectively.
