ABSTRACT A transformation of the rural employment structure of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh has seen a movement of workers from agriculture to non-agricultural sectors, which was contingent upon regional and individual characteristics. The share of casual workers in non-farm employment grew steadily, especially in the construction sector. Almost 90% of casual labourers belonged to either the Schedule Castes/Scheduled Tribes or Other Backward Castes. This study confirms that the conversion of cultivators, especially small and medium farmers into casual labourers, implies distress-driven diversification. A multinomial logit regression shows that women and workers with lower educational levels and larger landholdings are less likely to be involved in non-farm activities.

北方邦农村地区的就业结构，临时工和工资差异：分类分析

摘要印度北方邦农村就业结构的转变使工人从农业向非农业部门转移，这取决于地区和个人特点。临时工在非农业就业中所占的份额稳定增长，特别是在建筑部门。几乎90％的临时工属于附表种姓/计划部落或其他落后种姓。这项研究证实，中耕者，特别是中小型农民向临时工的转变，意味着受苦恼驱动的多样化。多项式logit回归表明，文化程度较低的女性和妇女和工人较少参与非农业活动。
