The occupational changes of a nation refer to the percentage of its work force employed in various economic ventures. To put it in other words, articulating the number of the total working populations employed in agriculture and associated activities and the number of them involved in the manufacturing and service sectors can be identified from the occupational changes of the nation. Occupations depend upon the degree of economic development and sophistication of country. Occupational structure influences many aspects of population in a region. The occupational characteristics of population are reflected in the working force, dependency load, employment, and unemployment. Since the region is predominantly dependent upon primary activities especially agriculture and allied activities, engagement of large section of population in this sector was observed, however with the constant socio-economic changes the proportion of population share in the primary activities have been constantly declining. Improved access to education and growing dominance of the service sector have diverted the occupational engagement especially millennial population from primary sector directly to tertiary sector specifically. The occupational engagement in the secondary sector was observed to be least in the region. The concept of occupational changes creates the environmental problems and is studied at present. The situation linked to each other in the type of problems, so it is necessary to investigate the occupational structure in the study area.
