India's Service Sector – Shaping Future of Indian Retail Industry

The Purpose of my Research Paper is to focus on potentiality and strength of India's Service Sector in shaping Business through Retail Sector. The distinct characteristics of services are intangibility, perishability, inseparability, variability, ownership, simultaneity; quality measurement etc. This study is to discover the remarkable changes in Service Sector and its overall impact in structuring Business through Retail Sector. As Service plays vital and crucial role in the pace growth of Indian Economy, this research paper also depict the role of services in Modern Economy, reasons for the growth of Services in India with addition of analyzing the transformation in this Sector. With its emerging nature it has become the fastest-growing sectors on the global landscape and hence it has made substantial contribution towards global output as well as employment generation. According to Adrian Payne four factors i.e. economic, political, social and demographic changes are responsible for stimulating growth in service sector. They are: demographic, social, economic and political changes. With around 1.2 billion population India's Services share to Total GDP for the year 2012-2013 is 59.29% and Retail sector contributes by 14% to 15% of its GDP for Indian Economy. My research paper will put emphasize on how Retail Industry get empowered by this “Tertiary Sector” and implication on FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) .The research also calls attention to the related case study in order to develop business in retail industry. The purpose of this paper is to examine the characteristics of the retail service sector in India and underlines its future prospects.

An Analysis of Employment Pattern of Service Sector in India

India's service sector is the fastest growing sector. It has grown rapidly as a consequence of the adoption of the New Economic Policy (NEP) of 1991. It contributes significantly to GDP, GDP growth, employment and trade. Domestic demand for services has increased as incomes have risen, triggering the expansion of industries such as banking, education, and telecommunications. This sector continues to be a star performer and by contributing 59 per cent of GDP, it is enjoying first place among all sectors in Indian economy. In employment providing, this sector is occupying second place, next only to agriculture. The present paper makes an analysis of Indian services sector through examining its growth and contributions in the economy. The paper also tries to analyze employment pattern in service sector along with its sub-sectors.

The quality of employment in India's services sector: exploring the heterogeneity

For some observers, the dramatic growth of the services sector in India reflects rapid strides made by educated professionals. Some others see it as the expansion of an employer of last resort. Given this heterogeneity, the object of this article is to analyse the quality of employment being created in different sub-sectors of services, relative to the industrial sector, where quality is defined to include wages, job security and social protection. Analysing household survey data from India in 1993–94 and 2004–05, we find the following. First, sub-sectors of services are generally either 'good' or 'bad' employers – higher wages do not compensate for less job security or less job protection. Second, the classification of most service sub-sectors as 'good' or 'bad' employers in 2004–05 is the same as that in 1993–94. Third, employment expansion during the 10-year period under consideration is more in service sub-sectors where quality of employment is low.

Trade in services: Impact on employment in India

India's services sector has been growing rapidly and so also the trade in services. This paper attempts to assess if trade is able to generate employment in the services sector. Based on the time series macro data the direct and indirect effects of exports and imports on employment after deciphering their effects included in the overall growth, are seen to be mostly negligible. This holds both in the case of formal and informal services. Also, as per the company-level data international trade is not found to be an important determinant of employment in the services sector. On the whole, trade in services sector may enhance growth but this pattern of growth is less likely to be inclusive. Finally, the paper brings out the policy implications.

An Empirical Analysis of Growth and Structure of Service Sector in India

Economic development has been associated with structural changes in the national economies. On the path of its economic development, India has reached a level where there is predominance of service sector and it has become the mainstay of the growth process especially over the last ten years. Uniqueness and sudden growthpattern of service sector of India needs to be recognised, understood and analysed with its implications for long term development strategy and policy. It is against this backdrop, that the present study has been designed. It is an attempt to study the trends and implications of sectoral growth with special reference to service sector in India. The analysis brings out the fact that in comparison to the world scenario, growth of service sector in India is not so pronounced. The study has found that except for the service sector hardly any significant change can be identified in the growth performances of the other two sectors in the post-reforms period. A striking feature of India's development is that growth in Indian service sector is not accompanied by additional employment opportunities, which have brought structural imbalances. The results reveal trade hotel, transport and communication as one of the most contributing sector of service sector to GDP. The study emphasised that the services sector is one of the areas, where India needs to focus on sharply to increase its share in the global services trade. However, it is imperative that the industrial and agricultural sectors also grow rapidly but unfortunately till now; the relatively jobless nature of growth in India's services sector underscores this need.

Service Sector Growth in China and India: A Comparison

Service Sector Growth in China and India: A Comparison Yanrui Wu Since the early 1990s, the world has witnessed the spectacular growth of the economies of China and India (averaging 10.2 and 6.2 per cent annually from 1992 to 2005, respectively).1 Associated with this growth has been the dramatic development of the service sectors in the two Asian giants.2 However, a comparison of China's and India's economic structures demonstrates that the role of the service sector (or, the tertiary sector as it is known in China) is very different (see Figure 1). In India, the service sector has become the dominant contributor to the Indian economy, accounting for 54.2 per cent of GDP in 2004.3 The success in this sector is regarded as "India's services revolution".4 In China, however, the service sector has lagged well behind the manufacturing sector (or the secondary sector, according to Chinese terminology), though its role in the economy improved slightly in the last 15 years. From 1990 to 2004, the service sector as a proportion of China's GDP increased modestly from 34.3 per cent in 1990 to 40.7 per cent in 2004. Why have the two countries taken very different trajectories in developing their service economies? What are the implications for future development in the two Asian giants? Which factors affect demand for services in China and India? These are some of the questions which are investigated in this paper. To date there have hardly been any comparative studies of services in China and India. However, several studies have focused on the service sector in the individual countries. For example, Gupta and Mohan both examine productivity in the Indian service sector in comparison with other [End Page 137] Click for larger view Figure 1 GDP Shares by Sector in China and India, 1978–2004 [End Page 138] Asian economies. Chanda discusses service trade in the world, particularly in India, and its implications for the World Trade Organisation (WTO) negotiations in services, while Gordon and Gupta present a detailed study explaining India's service growth in the past decade.5 Examples of studies on China include Li and Hou who produced an edited volume on China's WTO entry and the implications for the service sector, Jiang who edited a book focusing on growth and structural changes in services with some marginal coverage of international comparison, and Li who conducted a comprehensive investigation of China's service sector.6 Thus, it is the goal of this study to extend the existing literature by comparing the growth in and demand for services in China and India. First there is a brief review of developments in the service sector in China and India. This is followed by a discussion of the determinants of the demand for services. Three empirical models are employed to examine the factors affecting demand for services internationally, as well as in China and India. Subsequently, the article discusses the growth outlook for services in the two countries. The final section summarises the findings. Service Sector Development Following the conventional classification, an economy is divided into three sectors, that is, agricultural (or primary), manufacturing (or secondary) and service (or tertiary). The agricultural sector consists of farming, forestry, animal husbandry and fisheries. The manufacturing sector is composed of mining, [End Page 139] construction and manufacturing.7 All other economic activities which are not covered by the agricultural or manufacturing sectors are broadly defined as services and hence belong to the service sector. They include services provided for the agricultural sector, activities associated with the supply of water, electricity and gas, transport and communications, wholesale and retail trade, finance and insurance, business and personal services, and community and social services. Services can be broadly distinguished between two types, that is, old and new. The old or traditional services include petty trading, domestic services, catering and hotel services. The new services are generally associated with communications, business and legal...

Understanding India’s Services Revolution

This paper analyzes the factors behind the recent growth of India's services sector. The high growth of services output in the 1990s was mostly due to the rapid expansion of communication, banking, business services (including the IT sector) and community services. While factors such as a high income elasticity of demand for services, increasing input usage of services by other sectors, and rising exports, were important in boosting services growth in the 1990s, supply side factors including reforms and technological advances also played significant roles. Going forward, the growth potential of Indian services exports is well known, but the paper also finds considerable scope for growth in the Indian service economy provided that deregulation continues. In addition, the paper shows that employment growth in the Indian services sector has been quite modest, thus underscoring the need for industry and agriculture to also grow rapidly.

India's Services Boom - The Need for Balanced Growth?

Services dominate the Gross Domestic Products of a majority of nations. This paper analyses what constitutes services and the reason for its increased importance due to globalization. It then shows how the tradability of services has increased significantly over the last decade and how this has opened up tremendous opportunities across the globe. It then looks at the Indian scenario and provides a roadmap on what the government needs to do in order to use the opportunities in the service sector to achieve the development objectives from the growth process. The paper concludes that to ensure that India can exploit international opportunities in the services industry, the government needs to invest in education and negotiate for increased movement of natural persons. To ensure growth in the domestic services sector, the paper concludes that balanced growth is necessary across all sectors. To achieve this, the government has to remove land, product and labour market distortions and reduce barriers to FDI flows.

Management of severely malnourished children by village workers in integrated child development services in India.

4292 children with severe protein-calorie malnutrition were managed by village level workers at village centers in India. Treatment included provision of 700 to 900 calories and 15-20 g protein as supplement to the breast milk and weaning food being received at home and simple drug therapy for associated diseases. 85% of the children improved; 6.3% had no change; 3.6% deteriorated; 3.0% died and 2.1% were lost to follow up. Diarrhea short fever and apparent respiratory illness were associated illnesses contributing to the deaths in 42.6%; 38.0%; 34.9% of fatal cases. Prevalence of severe malnutrition and fatality were higher in younger children 3 years of age compared to older ones between 3 to 6 years of age. Referral from village center to larger health facilities was not utilized by the majority of the relatives of the sick children. It is concluded that village level management of severely malnourished children by a local worker is an acceptable and effective approach at less cost. It is recommended for countries with endemic protein-calorie malnutrition. (authors modified)
