Abstract

Abstract The quality and quantity of labour force determines the economic, social, cultural and political development of any country. The quality and quantity of workforce is not uniform in the world. It changes from place to place and time to time. The study of work dependency is useful for socio-economic development of a region. In demographic studies the term working population or economically active population are used synonymously. Here an attempt has been made by the scholars to study the crude work participation rate in different taluks of Chamarajanagara district for different time periods and also the pattern and trend of work participation rate. Through Thematic maps, these spatial and temporal changes have been shown.

Keywords: Crude work participation rate, Work dependency, Dependency ratio, Main and Marginal workers.
