Abstract

The Labour Force is positively related to economic growth. It comprises all persons of working age who furnish the supply of labour for the production of goods and services during a specified time-reference period. It refers to the sum of all persons of working age who are employed and those who are unemployed. The paper is aimed at studying the trends in labour force in Rayalaseema region of Andhra Pradesh. It is based on the descriptive type of research and data collected from census of India for three census periods (i.e. 1991, 2001 and 2011). The findings reveal that the increase in the labour force was very marginal, main workers had declined, marginal workers were more than doubled and the percent cultivators had been significantly declined during 1991-2011. However, percent of agricultural labour was same in 1991 and 2001, while it is significantly increased in 2011 census in the region.
