IMPACT OF GOVERNMENT SCHEMES ON AVAILABILITY OF AGRICULTURAL LABOURS IN THE KARNATAKA STATE, INDIA - AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 53
Abstract
This study investigates the labour supply behaviour of agricultural labourers at different wage rates. The objectives of this study are to test the Impact of rural development schemes on availability of agricultural labours supply and to observe agricultural labours responsiveness to changes in the wage rates by using 2013 cross-sectional data. The reason for sub-optimal utilization of labour offerings was the provision of food in the public distribution system, which upsurges the food availability and security for a month with only one or two person days of labour offering. If agricultural labourers were food secure, then they have every reason to prefer leisure. On demand side, most of the farmers also opinioned that, labour availability has reduced due to implementation of MGNREGA and migration of agricultural labour to other regions had a more significant role. In addition, in the rural areas, due to increased wages in the non-agricultural sector, there appears to be operation of backward bending supply curve of labour at two levels.
