Opis

Structural change and adjustment play an integral role in the process of economic growth and hence in raising the living standards of the people. In simple words, structural change refers to changes in the overall size and make-up of an economy in terms of the distribution of activity and resources among firms, industries and regions. Industries play an important role in the economic development of any nation. Development of industries in the country leads to investment of large capital, use of modern machines and large scale operation. As a result there will be greater productivity and higher national income which will in turn increase in per capita income. Industrialization creates more employment opportunities and hence reduce the problem of unemployment and underemployment in the country. It also absorbs the surplus labour which reduce the problem of disguised unemployment in rural area. Again it can contribute to the development of cottage and small industries in rural areas. Development of industries will be helpful in maintaining a proper balance between agriculture, industry and the tertiary sector which is essential for the all-round economic progress of any nation.
