就业结构变化缓慢，特别是在农业领域，其收入份额下降速度快于就业转变速度。这种转变要求我们关注农业工资的趋势。我们的分析表明，非农工资、MGNREGS、灌溉设施和农村识字率对农业工资有显着的正向影响，农业机械化有助于显着降低工资率。创造更多非农就业机会并支持扫盲计划和灌溉将有助于提高农场工资，而激励农业机械化将降低农民和农村贫困人口的种植成本。
Structural change in employment has been slow, particularly in agriculture, and its share in income has declined faster than employment has transitioned. This shift requires us to focus on the trends in agricultural wages. Our analysis shows that non-farm wages, the MGNREGS, irrigation facility, and rural literacy have a significant and positive effect on agricultural wages, and farm mechanization helps reduce the wage rate significantly. Creating more non-farm employment opportunities and supporting literacy programmes and irrigation will help improve farm wages, and incentivizing farm mechanization will reduce the cost of cultivation for farmers and the rural poor.
