- China has low employment in agriculture (26%) but an even lower GVA contribution (7%), showing greater productivity in industry and services. 2. Industry Sector:
- China’s industrial sector contributes 41% to GVA with 28% workforce participation, showing high industrial productivity.
- India’s industrial sector contributes 30% GVA with 25% workforce, while Pakistan lags behind (19% GVA with 24% workforce).
3. Services Sector:

- China employs 46% in services, showing a strong transition from agriculture to services.
- India’s workforce in services (32%) is lower than its GVA share (54%), indicating potential for growth.
Conclusion: - China leads in industrial productivity, while India and Pakistan still rely on agriculture for employment but have a low GVA contribution.
- India’s service sector dominates its economy, but there is a need for more industrial growth to enhance employment.
