ABSTRACT:
There are two types of hired labour used in Haryana Agriculture i.e. permanent farm servants and casual agricultural labourers. The permanent farm servant is key component of agricultural hired labour in Haryana. However, there is almost no official data or information about wage rates and number of permanent farm servants unlike wage rates of casual agricultural labourers as we have structured information regarding wage rates of casual agricultural labourers. The main objective of our study is to analyze the relationship between age and wage rates of permanent farm servants. Inclosed village labour market, permanent farm servants are employed by generally big farmers for one year from May to April. An employer or farmer keeps various personal characteristics of a permanent farm servant in mind while fixing his wage rate. Similarly, a permanent farm servant is familiar with nature of work to be performed on farms and knows the behaviour of employers. Therefore, personal and farm characteristics are important in the determination of wage rates of permanent farm servants. There may be huge variation in the wage rates among permanent farm servants and even in the same village due to differences in their personal as well as farm traits. Age and work experience are main determinants of wage rates of permanent farm servants. The analysis of wage rates of permanent farm servants is based on the primary data of 220 randomly selected permanent farm servants from 22 villages of Haryana. One village is randomly selected from each district. The study found that the variables of Age and Age2 explain 29 percent variation in the wage rates of permanent farm servants. The relationship between age and wage rates of permanent farm servants is found to be form of inverted-U shaped.
