This paper is focused on the changes in the size of the rural workforce in Tamil Nadu in the
pre-and post-reform periods. The paper finds a substantial slowdown in employment growth
in the rural non-farm sector in the post-reform period compared to pre-reform period.
Though the share of agriculture in the economy has declined during the planned development
of the state, it still assumes a pivotal role in the rural economy since two-third of the rural
work force is dependent on it.
