Read the following statements - Assertion (A) and Reason (R):
Assertion (A) – The self-employed and casual wage laborers are found more in rural areas than in urban areas.
Reason(R) – The nature of work in urban areas is different and enterprises in urban areas require workers on a regular basis.

a) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Self-employed and casual wage labourers are found more in rural areas than in urban areas. In the latter, both self employment and regular wage salaried jobs are greater. In the former, since majority of those depending on farming own plots of land and cultivate independently, the share of self employed is greater. The nature of work in urban areas is different. Obviously everyone cannot run factories, shops and offices of various types. Moreover enterprises in urban areas require workers on a regular basis.
