Both 1 and 2

None of the above.

Correct Answer:

In rural areas proportion of worker's participation is high as in comparison to urban areas

Explanation:

People in rural areas have limited resources to earn a higher income and participate more in the employment market. Many do not go to schools, colleges and other training institutions. Even if some go, they discontinue in the middle to join the workforce; whereas, in urban areas, a considerable section is able to study in various educational institutions. Urban people have a variety of employment opportunities. They look for the appropriate job to suit their qualifications and skills. In rural areas, people cannot stay at home as their economic condition may not allow them to do so.

Electricity, Gas and Water Supply and Construction are a part of Secondary Sector.
