Journal Title: International Journal of Management, IT and Engineering - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 11
Abstract
One of the potential avenues of employment for the rural people is engagement in Rural Non-Farm Sector (RNFS). It is realized that the rural non-farm employment (RNFE) in West Bengal has significantly and gradually increased for both the corner of male and female. The questions that have thus arisen are: What are the overall patterns of RNFE? Is self-employment (rather than wage labour) dominant in RNFS? Does RNFE have any impact on rural poverty alleviation? This paper tries to seek the answers to these questions through analyzing the nature, extent and pattern of rural non-farm employment in west Bengal, more particularly in a block of Purba Medinipur which has a glorious and artistic cottage industry as well as adequate multi crop fertile land. The share of RNFW to total estimated workers of sample households is higher than that of agricultural workers in all the sample villages. Most of the sample villages register low share of non-farm wage labour relative to that of non-farm self-employment. Rural male non-farm workers dominate all sectors except household manufacturing sector. The share of non-farm income to total income is less than 50 percent for 56.67 percent households.
