During the colonial period in India, approximately what
percentage of the workforce was employed in the manufacturing sector?Solution
The occupational structure in colonial India remained relatively static, with limited diversification across sectors. Agriculture dominated the economy, employing 70-75% of the workforce. The manufacturing sector accounted for approximately 10% of employment, while the services sector made up the remaining 15-20%. This distribution reflects the limited industrial development that occurred during colonial rule, as British policies often favored raw material extraction over manufacturing development in India.
