N2  - Most developing countries of the semi-arid tropics (SAT), particularly inAsia.
have a relative abundance of labor resources relative to capital and land.
Statistics on this apparent abundance are usually only available (ifat all) in
terms of national or regional aggregates, as pointed out recently by McDiarmid
(1977, pp. 9-10, 18, 29, 54-55), Bardhan (1977), and Brannon and Jessee (1977,
pp. 13-15). Even these statistics are often not reliable, particularly for the
rural areas. Itis in rural areas where problems of seasonal unemployment are
most acute, as revealed inRudra and Biswas' comprehensive study (1973), and
where it is imperative to derive better measures and understanding of the demand
and supply parameters of labor markets, particularly in India, where 70 percent
of the labor force are classified as agricultural workers.
