(iii) Developing countries tend to have a higher proportion of their workforce engaged in primary activities. (iv) In India, about 64 per cent of the population are engaged only in agriculture. (v) The proportion of population dependent on secondary and tertiary sectors is also less (about 13 and 20 per cent, respectively) in India.
