In order to understand changes in the Indian economy and job creation that is happening at a rapid pace, Commerce and Industry Minister Suresh Prabhu has said there is a need to develop a proper matrix. He stated that the relation between employment generation to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will always undergo a change depending upon the profile of the economy.
The Minister further said that despite the fact that only 16 per cent of the GDP comes from agriculture, the sector engages over 60 per cent of the country's population. Moreover, he said that in 1960s and 1970s, the government used to provide bulk of the jobs and then came the private sector. He added that now start-ups too are providing huge job opportunities but the challenge is to capture that data.
Besides, former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan recently raised doubts over the Indian economy growing at 7 per cent when not enough jobs were being created.
