People as Resource
• According to the previous 3 years examinations, the following concepts
are most important from this chapter and should be focussed upon.
• Various Aspects of Human Resource Development
• The Role of Education
• Unemployment and Forms of Unemployment in India.
Human beings perform many activities which can be grouped into
economic and non-economic.
Classification of Activities:-
1) Economic Activities: Economic activities refer to those activities of
human which are undertaken for a monetary gain or to satisfy
his/her wants. The activities of workers, farmers, shopkeepers,
manufacturers, doctors, lawyers, taxi drivers, etc. fall under this
category.
2) Non-Economic Activities: Non-economic activities are ones that are
not undertaken for any monetary gain. These are also called unpaid
activities, e.g., Puja-paath, housekeeping, helping the poor or
disabled, etc.
Classification of Economic Activities:
Various economic activities can be classified into three main sectors,
that is, primary sector, secondary sector and tertiary sector. The
primary sector includes activities like agriculture, forestry, animal
husbandry, fishing, poultry, farming and mining. In this sector, goods
are produced by exploiting nature. In the secondary sector,
manufacturing (small and large) and construction activities are
included. The tertiary sector (also called service sector) provides various
types of services like transport, education, banking, insurance, health,
tourism, etc.
Market Activities and Non-Market Activities:
Economic activities, i.e., production of goods and services can be
classified into market activities and non-market activities. Market
activities are 'performed for remuneration. Non-market activities are
the activities carried out for self consumption.
Activities of Women:
Women generally look after domestic affairs like cooking of food,
washing of clothes, cleaning of utensils, housekeeping and looking after
children.
Human Capital:
Human capital is the stock of skill and productive knowledge embodied
in human beings. Population (human beings) become human capital
when it is provided with better education, training and health care
facilities.
People as a Resource:
People as a resource is a way of referring to a country’s workforce in
terms of their existing skills and abilities.
Human Capital Formation:
When the existing human resource is further developed by spending on
making the workforce more educated and healthy, it is called Human
Capital Formation.
Quality of Population:
The quality of population depends upon the literacy rate, life
expectancy and skills formation acquired by the people of the country.
Role of Education:
Education is the most important component of Human Resource
Development. In view of its contribution towards the growth of the
society, government expenditure on education as a percentage of GDP
rose from 0.64% in 1951-52 to 3.98% in 2002-03. However, our national
goal is 6% of GDP
Health:
Health is another very important component of Human Resource
Development. The efficiency of workers largely depends on their health.
There has been a considerable improvement in the country’s health
standard. For instance, the life expectancy at the time of birth in India
rose from 37.2 years in 1951 to 63.9 years in 2001. Similarly, the infant
mortality rate has come down from 147 to 70 during the same time
period.
Unemployment:
Unemployment is said to exist when people who are willing to work at
the prevailing wage rates cannot find jobs. When we talk of
unemployed people, we refer to those in the age group of 15-59 years.
Children below 15 years of age and the old people above 60 are not
considered while counting the number of unemployed
Nature of Unemployment in India:
Seasonal unemployment occurs when people fail to get work during
some months of the year (that is, during off-season). Farm labourers
usually face this kind of problem, I Disguised unemployment is another
kind of unemployment found in rural areas. Such kind of problem arises
due to excessive pressure of population on agriculture. Disguised
unemployment refers to a situation wherein the number of workers in a
job is more than actually required to do the job. The extra number of
workers are disguisedly unemployed.
Consequences of Unemployment:
• Unemployment leads to wastage of manpower resource.
• Unemployment tends to increase the economic overload that is the
dependence of the unemployed on the working population.
• Unemployment may lead to an increase in social unrest and tension.
