Income, output and employment linkages and import intensities of manufacturing industries in India

The major goals of planned development in India have been employment, income generation and self-reliance. Using an input-output model, the authors evaluate income, output and employment linkages and import intensities of manufacturing sectors. They show that among the broad groups of industries, agrobased industries through technological interdependence, particularly backward linkages, generate relatively more income and employment and use less imported outputs.
