Detailed Solution

India's primary sector employs the vast majority of the workforce.
The primary sector of the economy, which makes up more than half of the workforce but only makes up about a sixth of the GDP, is dominated by agriculture. Around 48% of the total workforce is employed in the primary sector alone. A high workforce with less productivity causes disguised unemployment. When a person works less than their potential, it is known as "disguised unemployment." It is generally found in the agriculture sector, where more people work on a single piece of land than required. These are unskilled laborers who are not able to get employment in secondary and tertiary sectors.
