Suppose you want to emphasise the increase in the share of urban non-workers and lower level of urbanisation in India as shown in Example 4.2. How would you do it in the tabular form?
Share of Rural and Urban Non-workers in India
| ||
Non-workers in Urban | Non-workers in Rural | Total Non-workers Population |
(1) | (2) | (3) = (1) + (2) |
19,31,38,837 | 42,96,00,032 | 62,27,38,869 |
Source: Census of India, 2001
We can infer from the above table that the absolute number of the rural non-workers is greater than the absolute number of the urban non-workers. The higher ( lower) share of the rural non-workers (urban non-workers) reveals lower degree of urbanisation in India.
NOTE: As there is no Example 4.2 in the book, so the following data have been adapted from Census of India, 2001.
