Online search for agriculture and farming-related jobs in India dropped
25 per cent per week on an average in 2017 due to lack of job security
in the sector, a report released here on Monday said.
"Commonly
perceived as careers that lack security, the lack of awareness about the
scope of the sector and the dearth of entrepreneurial spirit also
hinders new entrants," the report by Indeed India said.
"The data
further indicates that job seekers in the age group of 21 to 25 years
-- the generation comprising fresh graduates, newcomers to the industry
-- show the lowest level of interest in agriculture jobs," it added.
The report, however, said people in the age group of 31 to 35 years exhibit a higher than average interest in agricultural jobs.
The
study also suggested that "clean labelling" of agriculture products and
derivatives items is likely to aid the ailing sector and revive the
interest for agricultural jobs.
"The shift in consumer behaviour
towards healthy eating, and by extension, healthy living is driving the
movement towards clean labelling, an area that requires agricultural
expertise," Sashi Kumar, Managing Director, Indeed India said.
