Different Sectors

Low per capita income

• Developing economy is characterized by low per capital income. India per capital income is very low as compared to the advanced countries. This trend of difference of per capita income between developing and advanced countries is gradually increasing in present times. India not only the per capita income is low but also the income is unequally distributed.

Heavy Population Pressure

• The Indian economy is facing the problem population explosion. It is clearly evident from the total population of India which was 102.67 cores in 2001 census. It is the second highest populated country China being the first. India’s population has reached 110 cores. All the developing countries are characterized by high birth rate which stimulates the growth of population.

Pre-dominance of Agriculture

• Occupational distribution of population in India clearly reflects the backwardness of the economy. One of the basis characteristics of an developing economy is that agriculture contributes a very large portion in the national income and a very high proportion of working population is engaged in agriculture

Unemployment:

• There is larger unemployed and under employment is another important feature of Indian economy. In developing countries labor is an abundant factor. It is not possible to provide gainful employment the entire population. Lack of job opportunities disguised unemployed is created’ in the agriculture fields. There deficiency of capital formation.

Poor Technology

• The lever of technology is a common factor in developing economy. India economy also suffers from this typical feature of technological backwardness. The techniques applied in agriculture industries milling and other economic fields are primitive in nature.

Human Development Index

The Human Development Index (HDI) is a composite statistic of life expectancy, education, and income indices used to rank countries into four tiers of human development. It was created by Indian economist Amartya Sen and Pakistani economist Mahbub ul Haq in 1990,[and was published by the United Nations Development Programme.

The 2010 Human Development Report introduced an Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI). While the simple HDI remains useful, it stated that "the IHDI is the actual level of human development (accounting for inequality)" and "the HDI can be viewed as an index of 'potential' human development (or the maximum IHDI that could be achieved if there were no inequality)"
