Abstract :
Worker profile is perhaps the clearest indicator of the overall backwardness of any developing area.
Low work participation rate generally force to live people in an economically backward region in urban
as well as rural. The present paper is an attempt to analyze the status of the workers and its impact on
socio-economic conditions in Murshidabad district,West Bengal and also explore the correlation with
different socio- economic parameters for sustainable development. Based on the blockwise secondary
data obtained from the Census of India, residual analysis has been done with 'population' as
independent variable and 'total worker' as dependent variable. The results show that the mean work and
non-work participation rates of the study area in northern and southern part are respectively 39.49%&
33.5% and 60.51% & 66.5%. The residual map shows that the southern part of the study area faces the
problems of year round work deficit, while the northern part of the district show a comparatively good
condition of work facilities because of agricultural and industrial infrastructure.
