Abstract

"This present study was carried out to examine and analyse the factors determining the labour absorption in agriculture in different agro-climatic regions of Rajasthan with state as a whole. Both primary and secondary data were used for this study. 200 respondents from 10 villages were collected for primary data during year of 2018-2019 and secondary data were used of published data from different reports and publications. The findings were showed that farm size has a significant negative relationship with total labour absorption in all agro-climatic regions at the state level except the transitional plain region. The cropping intensity showed a positive association with the total labour utilization in arid western and northern region, transitional plain regions, semi-arid and flood-prone eastern plain and humid south and eastern plain region. The per hectare absorption of tractor hours was displayed a significant negative relationship with the total labour utilization in all the agro-climatic regions with the state level. Expenditure on animal feeds showed a significant positive association with the total human labour utilization in all the agro-climatic regions with the state level except semi-arid and flood-prone eastern plain region. It was observed that the total labour utilization showed a significantly positive relationship with irrigation intensity in arid western and northern region and humid south and eastern plain region. Unemployment of agricultural labourers has negative impact on their income, consumption expenditure and savings. So, there is need to create additional income opportunities for agricultural labourers."

拉贾斯坦邦不同农业气候区农业劳动力吸收的决定因素

“本研究是为了检查和分析拉贾斯坦邦不同农业气候地区农业劳动力吸收的决定因素。本研究采用了第一手资料和第二手资料。在2018-2019年期间，收集了来自10个村庄的200名受访者的主要数据，并使用了来自不同报告和出版物的公开数据。结果表明，除过渡平原地区外，所有农业气候区的农场规模与劳动总吸收量呈显著负相关。在西部和北部干旱地区、过渡平原区、东部半干旱和洪涝易发地区以及南部和东部湿润平原区，种植强度与劳动总利用率呈正相关。各农业气候区每公顷拖拉机小时吸收量与劳动总利用率呈显著负相关，且呈国家级负相关。除东部平原半干旱和洪涝易发地区外，所有国家级农业气候区动物饲料支出与人类劳动利用总量呈显著正相关。在西部和北部干旱地区以及南部和东部湿润平原地区，劳动总利用率与灌溉强度呈显著正相关。农业劳动者失业对其收入、消费支出和储蓄均有负面影响。因此，有必要为农业劳动者创造额外的收入机会。”
