| Shrnutí: | The paper has examined the transition of five South Asian countries in the context of agrarian and rural transformation. These five countries – India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal and Sri Lanka – together account for a little more than 22 per cent of population and 3.32 per cent of the total surface area of the world. They share nearly 98 per cent of population and 86.39 per cent of the South Asian population. The region has experienced a wide ranging transformation in terms of sectoral composition of income and employment during the last about five decades. Nevertheless, it continues to be a predominantly rural society in terms of population and labour force. The share of agriculture in the GDP of most of the countries under study witnessed a substantial decline during 1960s through the first decade of the 21st century. The share of workforce in agriculture also displayed a decline but not as much as the decline in income share. Nevertheless, the region is moving towards the long term dynamics of growth which could eventually help it in its future growth and development. |
