Analysis of Man-Days Employed and Constraints Faced by Agricultural Labour Households of North Karnataka, India

Résumé

The present study on man-days employed by agricultural labour households in north Karnataka was conducted during 2021-22, in the purposively selected Gadag and Belagavi districts of Karnataka wherein maximum number of agricultural labourers were reported. The ex-post facto research design was employed to collect data from a sample of 160 agricultural labour households randomly selected from agricultural labour households of predominant gram panchayats. Majority of casual labour households in rainfed region (68.75 %) found in low average man-days employed in a year (120-190 days) as compared to irrigated region labour households (67.50 %) noticed in high man-days employment (261-330 days). Higher per cent (10.00 %) of attached labour households in irrigated region and only 3.75 per cent in rainfed region were found to have high man-days employment. Discrimination in wages, addiction of family members to smoking, and consumption of tobacco and alcohol, irregular payment of wages, non-availability of institutional credit in time, lack of training or skill for getting remunerative labour works and lack of awareness of government schemes implemented for protecting livelihood security were expressed as the major constraints among the labour households in securing the livelihood.
