abstract: 'The paper examines the basic issue of impact of new technology on
|
||||
|
||||
employment and income distribution in the rural areas of India''s
|
||||
|
||||
Semi-Arid Tropics. The analysis indicates that in general average income
|
||||
|
||||
of rural households in dryland areas is quite low. However, the mean
|
||||
|
||||
income level is substantially higher in those assured rainfall villages
|
||||
|
||||
where the adoption of new technology is higher than in those villages
|
||||
|
||||
where rainfall is low and erratic and the adoption of improved seeds,
|
||||
|
||||
use of fertilizer and access to irrigation is limited. The differential
|
||||
|
||||
effect of new technology in different regions is partly because of
|
||||
|
||||
geographic physical conditions and level of infrastructure development.
|
||||
|
||||
The income is more equitably distributed in those villages where mean
|
||||
|
||||
level of income is low than in those where mean level of income is high.
|
||||
|
||||
There is a clear indication of improvement in the level of income in
|
||||
|
||||
almost all the villages but percentage increase in income was relatively
|
||||
|
||||
higher in those villages where the technical change was also higher.
|
||||
|
||||
Though, there was some improvement in the income distribution over time
|
||||
|
||||
in all the villages, the trend in the inequality does not indicate any
|
||||
|
||||
clear improvement in income distribution. This suggests that despite
|
||||
|
||||
increase in the income level, the inequality has not worsened over time.
|
||||
|
||||
In other words, it can be said that atleast the new technology has not
|
||||
|
||||
increased the inequality.
|
||||
|
||||
The new technology has reduced the poverty proportionately more in
|
||||
|
||||
progressive village than in less progressive village. Most of the income
|
||||
|
||||
gains in these villages came from crops specially in those villages
|
||||
|
||||
where adoption of new technology was high. In the less progressive
|
||||
|
||||
village wage earnings were equally important in improving the level of
|
||||
|
||||
income. This also indicates that inequality in productive resources
|
||||
|
||||
specially land and investment in irrigation are important factors
|
||||
|
||||
contributing to inequality. Increased farm and off-farm employment
|
||||
|
||||
opportunities due to new technology help the lower income group of
|
||||
|
||||
households to earn more income and reduce inequality. All households
|
||||
|
||||
gain from technological progress but the top and bottom income groups
|
||||
|
||||
gain proportionately more than the middle.
|
||||
|
||||
The investment in irrigation, improved seeds and fertilizer
|
||||
|
||||
substantially contribute to the agricultural productivity and the
|
||||
|
||||
differential use of these inputs leads to increased regional as well as
|
||||
|
||||
within the village disparities in income. The village differences also
|
||||
|
||||
contribute considerably to the variability in income because of
|
||||
|
||||
differences in the agro-climatic factors such as pattern of rainfall,
|
||||
|
||||
cropping pattern and type of soil but within village differences in the
|
||||
|
||||
farmer''s resource base, labour participation and their managerial
|
||||
|
||||
practices are the largest contributors to income variability.'
