Which of the following statements is correct about the composition of the agriculture sector and employment in GDP post- independence?

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is:
**4. The proportion of GDP contributed by the agricultural sector declined significantly but not the employment depending on the agriculture sector** — Over time, agriculture’s share in GDP has fallen sharply, while a large portion of the population still depends on it for employment.

**Wrong options:**

**1. The proportion of employment has declined significantly but not the share of the agriculture sector in GDP** — In reality, GDP share declined more significantly than employment.

**2. The proportion of both the agriculture sector and employment in GDP has increased significantly** — Both have not increased; GDP share has declined.

**3. The proportion of both the agriculture sector and employment in GDP has declined significantly** — Employment has not declined as sharply as GDP share.
