Description
For many in India whose expectations of a better life rose along with the economy in the first decade of the 2000s, the current slowdown has brought a near-literal reversal of fortune, driving them back to jobs and ways of living they thought they had left behind. Between 2005 and 2012, as India's industrial and service sectors boomed, farm employment shrank by 37 million jobs. A report by credit-rating firm Crisil expects the process to reverse: By 2019, 12 million more people will be working in agriculture than in 2012. That's not the way India's policy makers want the next chapter of the country's economic story to go. Voting in parliamentary elections kicked off last week amid deep discontent about joblessness and missing opportunities for young people.
