Spatial Variation in Work Participation:
Work participation sectors vary widely across India:
Agriculture dominates in rural areas of states like Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh.
Industrial and service sectors have significant work participation in states like Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Gujarat, especially in urban centers.
Forest-based and traditional occupations are common in northeastern states.
These variations are due to regional differences in natural resources, industrial development, education, and infrastructure.
