&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Urban-rural wage gap highest in the North-East and northern States&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;That rural employment, particularly in the informal sector, will fetch lower incomes, does not always hold true.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In fact, hired workers in the informal sector in rural Gujarat earned twice as much as their counterparts in urban areas, a recent report of the National Sample Survey Organisation show. Hired workers in rural Gujarat&amp;rsquo;s informal sectors earned about Rs. 1,93,925 per year in 2015-16 compared to Rs. 90,146 by their counterparts in urban areas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gujarat was not the only State where rural wages in the informal sector were on an average higher than the wages in urban areas, but it was a clear outlier if the data published by the NSSO in its report &amp;lsquo;Key Indicators of Unincorporated Non-agricultural Enterprises (Excluding Construction) in India&amp;rsquo; is accurate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rural wages in the informal sector were marginally higher than the wages in urban areas in Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Uttarakhand, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh and union territories such as Chandigarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The difference in most of these places were small &amp;ndash; ranging between two per cent and 12 per cent. The difference was higher in Arunachal Pradesh, where rural wages were about 24 per cent higher than urban wages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Rural-urban gap&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
On an average, at the all-India level, rural wages in the informal sector were about 19 per cent lower than the urban wages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;tinymce/uploaded/Informal sector wages.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Informal sector wages&quot; width=&quot;339&quot; height=&quot;290&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The difference between rural and urban wages was the highest in North-Eastern as well as Northern States.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Mizoram, wages in rural informal sector were about 46 per cent lower than in urban informal units. In the country&amp;rsquo;s most populous State of Uttar Pradesh, average wages in the rural units were 40 per cent lower than in urban areas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Haryana, the difference was 35 per cent, Chhattisgarh 31 per cent, Madhya Pradesh 30 per cent and Rajasthan 26 per cent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The difference in the rural and urban wages for the informal sector was the least in Kerala and Telangana where the rural wages were just about three and two per cent lower, respectively.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Urban-rural wage gap highest in the North-East and northern States&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;That rural employment, particularly in the informal sector, will fetch lower incomes, does not always hold true.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In fact, hired workers in the informal sector in rural Gujarat earned twice as much as their counterparts in urban areas, a recent report of the National Sample Survey Organisation show. Hired workers in rural Gujarat&amp;rsquo;s informal sectors earned about Rs. 1,93,925 per year in 2015-16 compared to Rs. 90,146 by their counterparts in urban areas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gujarat was not the only State where rural wages in the informal sector were on an average higher than the wages in urban areas, but it was a clear outlier if the data published by the NSSO in its report &amp;lsquo;Key Indicators of Unincorporated Non-agricultural Enterprises (Excluding Construction) in India&amp;rsquo; is accurate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rural wages in the informal sector were marginally higher than the wages in urban areas in Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Uttarakhand, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh and union territories such as Chandigarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The difference in most of these places were small &amp;ndash; ranging between two per cent and 12 per cent. The difference was higher in Arunachal Pradesh, where rural wages were about 24 per cent higher than urban wages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Rural-urban gap&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
On an average, at the all-India level, rural wages in the informal sector were about 19 per cent lower than the urban wages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The difference between rural and urban wages was the highest in North-Eastern as well as Northern States.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Mizoram, wages in rural informal sector were about 46 per cent lower than in urban informal units. In the country&amp;rsquo;s most populous State of Uttar Pradesh, average wages in the rural units were 40 per cent lower than in urban areas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Haryana, the difference was 35 per cent, Chhattisgarh 31 per cent, Madhya Pradesh 30 per cent and Rajasthan 26 per cent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The difference in the rural and urban wages for the informal sector was the least in Kerala and Telangana where the rural wages were just about three and two per cent lower, respectively.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Urban-rural wage gap highest in the North-East and northern States&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;That rural employment, particularly in the informal sector, will fetch lower incomes, does not always hold true.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In fact, hired workers in the informal sector in rural Gujarat earned twice as much as their counterparts in urban areas, a recent report of the National Sample Survey Organisation show. Hired workers in rural Gujarat&amp;rsquo;s informal sectors earned about Rs. 1,93,925 per year in 2015-16 compared to Rs. 90,146 by their counterparts in urban areas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gujarat was not the only State where rural wages in the informal sector were on an average higher than the wages in urban areas, but it was a clear outlier if the data published by the NSSO in its report &amp;lsquo;Key Indicators of Unincorporated Non-agricultural Enterprises (Excluding Construction) in India&amp;rsquo; is accurate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rural wages in the informal sector were marginally higher than the wages in urban areas in Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Uttarakhand, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh and union territories such as Chandigarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The difference in most of these places were small &amp;ndash; ranging between two per cent and 12 per cent. The difference was higher in Arunachal Pradesh, where rural wages were about 24 per cent higher than urban wages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Rural-urban gap&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
On an average, at the all-India level, rural wages in the informal sector were about 19 per cent lower than the urban wages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;tinymce/uploaded/Informal sector wages.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Informal sector wages&quot; width=&quot;339&quot; height=&quot;290&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The difference between rural and urban wages was the highest in North-Eastern as well as Northern States.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Mizoram, wages in rural informal sector were about 46 per cent lower than in urban informal units. In the country&amp;rsquo;s most populous State of Uttar Pradesh, average wages in the rural units were 40 per cent lower than in urban areas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Haryana, the difference was 35 per cent, Chhattisgarh 31 per cent, Madhya Pradesh 30 per cent and Rajasthan 26 per cent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The difference in the rural and urban wages for the informal sector was the least in Kerala and Telangana where the rural wages were just about three and two per cent lower, respectively.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Urban-rural wage gap highest in the North-East and northern States&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;That rural employment, particularly in the informal sector, will fetch lower incomes, does not always hold true.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In fact, hired workers in the informal sector in rural Gujarat earned twice as much as their counterparts in urban areas, a recent report of the National Sample Survey Organisation show. Hired workers in rural Gujarat&amp;rsquo;s informal sectors earned about Rs. 1,93,925 per year in 2015-16 compared to Rs. 90,146 by their counterparts in urban areas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gujarat was not the only State where rural wages in the informal sector were on an average higher than the wages in urban areas, but it was a clear outlier if the data published by the NSSO in its report &amp;lsquo;Key Indicators of Unincorporated Non-agricultural Enterprises (Excluding Construction) in India&amp;rsquo; is accurate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rural wages in the informal sector were marginally higher than the wages in urban areas in Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Uttarakhand, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh and union territories such as Chandigarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The difference in most of these places were small &amp;ndash; ranging between two per cent and 12 per cent. The difference was higher in Arunachal Pradesh, where rural wages were about 24 per cent higher than urban wages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Rural-urban gap&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
On an average, at the all-India level, rural wages in the informal sector were about 19 per cent lower than the urban wages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;tinymce/uploaded/Informal sector wages.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Informal sector wages&quot; width=&quot;339&quot; height=&quot;290&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The difference between rural and urban wages was the highest in North-Eastern as well as Northern States.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Mizoram, wages in rural informal sector were about 46 per cent lower than in urban informal units. In the country&amp;rsquo;s most populous State of Uttar Pradesh, average wages in the rural units were 40 per cent lower than in urban areas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Haryana, the difference was 35 per cent, Chhattisgarh 31 per cent, Madhya Pradesh 30 per cent and Rajasthan 26 per cent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The difference in the rural and urban wages for the informal sector was the least in Kerala and Telangana where the rural wages were just about three and two per cent lower, respectively.&lt;br /&gt;

In fact, hired workers in the informal sector in rural Gujarat earned twice as much as their counterparts in urban areas, a recent report of the National Sample Survey Organisation show.

<br />
Rural wages in the informal sector were marginally higher than the wages in urban areas in Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Uttarakhand, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh and union territories such as Chandigarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu.<br />
<br />
The difference in most of these places were small &ndash; ranging between two per cent and 12 per cent. The difference was higher in Arunachal Pradesh, where rural wages were about 24 per cent higher than urban wages.<br />

Informal sector: Gujarat's rural workers earn twice as much as urban labourers -Tina Edwin

-The Hindu Business Line Urban-rural wage gap highest in the North-East and northern States New Delhi: That rural employment, particularly in the informal sector, will fetch lower incomes, does not always hold true. In fact, hired workers in the informal sector in rural Gujarat earned twice as much as their counterparts in urban areas, a recent report of the National Sample Survey Organisation show. Hired workers in rural Gujarat’s informal sectors earned about Rs. 1,93,925 per year in 2015-16 compared to Rs. 90,146 by their counterparts in urban areas. Gujarat was not the only State where rural wages in the informal sector were on an average higher than the wages in urban areas, but it was a clear outlier if the data published by the NSSO in its report ‘Key Indicators of Unincorporated Non-agricultural Enterprises (Excluding Construction) in India’ is accurate. Rural wages in the informal sector were marginally higher than the wages in urban areas in Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Uttarakhand, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh and union territories such as Chandigarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu. The difference in most of these places were small – ranging between two per cent and 12 per cent. The difference was higher in Arunachal Pradesh, where rural wages were about 24 per cent higher than urban wages. Rural-urban gap On an average, at the all-India level, rural wages in the informal sector were about 19 per cent lower than the urban wages.     The difference between rural and urban wages was the highest in North-Eastern as well as Northern States. In Mizoram, wages in rural informal sector were about 46 per cent lower than in urban informal units. In the country’s most populous State of Uttar Pradesh, average wages in the rural units were 40 per cent lower than in urban areas. In Haryana, the difference was 35 per cent, Chhattisgarh 31 per cent, Madhya Pradesh 30 per cent and Rajasthan 26 per cent. The difference in the rural and urban wages for the informal sector was the least in Kerala and Telangana where the rural wages were just about three and two per cent lower, respectively.
