CBSE Class 9 Economics Notes

Palampur is fairly connected with a well-developed system of roads, transport, electricity, irrigation, schools and health centres. The story of Palampur takes us through the different types of production activities in the village. In India, farming is the main production activity across villages.

Chapter 2: People as Resource

People as Resource is a way of referring to a country’s working people in terms of their existing productive skills and abilities. Like other resources, the population is also considered as a human resource. When the existing ‘human resource’ is further developed by becoming more educated and healthy, it is called human capital formation. Investment in human capital (through education, training, medical care) yields a return just like investment in physical capital.

Human capital is superior to other resources like land and physical capital. Total productivity adds to the growth of the economy. Investment in human resource (via education and medical care) can give high rates of return in future. Countries, like Japan, have invested in human resources.
