Abstract
The Iow level of labour use in Indian agriculture compared with some of the Asian countries and the differences in the intensity of labour use across regions and crops, have evidenced the argument that Indian agriculture Is capable of using more labour than what it presently does. A considerable amount of empirical studies has been carried out on this subject. However, the differences in time span covered, methodology adopted and choice of crops and regions, render the conclusions reached by them of limited significance to other areas and crops. Using the cost of cultivation data, this paper attempt to bring out the determinants of labour demand In paddy cultivation In Tamil Nadu.
