The following ways are suggested to create more employment avenues in urban areas:
(i) Different states should encourage regional craft industry.
(ii) Tourism industry should be promoted. Different sites of historical or cultural importance should be maintained in a better, way to attract tourists.
(iii) The government should make changes in the policies to provide basic facilities, develop infrastructure and extend loan and technological assistance. According to an estimate of the Planning commission, nearby 20 lakh jobs can created in education sector alone if we provide buildings, teachers and the other staff for the schools for about 200 million children in the school-going age-group.

There was change in the share of GDP of the three sectors but the primary sector continues to be the largest employer in 1973 as well as in 2000 due to the following factors:
(i) Enough jobs were not created in the secondary and tertiary sectors.
(ii) Industrial output or production of goods increased by eight times 1.e., from 6,000 crore to 50,000 crore approximately but the employment increased 2.5 times only.
(iii) Similarly in the tertiary sector, the production increased 11 times i.e., form 10,000 crore to 110,000 crore but employment increased only three times. Thus, the primary sector still employed about 63% people in the country.
(iv) There are more people in agriculture than is necessary. so even if some people are removed the production is not affected. Thus workers in agricultural sector are under- employed. It is also called disguised unemployment.
(i) In democracy, people are the source of political power. (ii) They elect their representatives through direct or indirect election.

(i) In democracy, people are the source of political power.
(ii) They elect their representatives through direct or indirect election. Those who win and secure majority in the legislature form government at various levels i.e., national, state or local.
(iii) ln democracy due respect is given to all social groups including minorities. For example in India, minorities enjoy educational and cultural rights. Reservation has been made for SCs/STs in Parliament and State Assemblies. Thus, in democracy power is shared at various levels and among various social groups. It is based on prudence or on careful calculation of gains and losses.

We learn the following lessons from the principles of majoritarianism and accommodation followed in Sri Lanka and Belgium:
(l) In Belgium, the leaders respected the feelings and interests of all communities and were successful in maintaining the unity of the country. They recognised the existence of regional differences and cultural diversities. They took various steps such as amendments to the constitution in order to work out an arrangement that would enable everyone to live together within the same county. The arrangements such as equal number of ministers of Dutch and French speaking people has worked successfully.
(ii) On the other hand, majority community in Sri Lanka tried to force its dominance over other communities. It has brought the country nearer to a civil war and unity of the country is threatened. This shows the path of accommodation is better than that of majoritarianism and power sharing must be followed.
In Belgium, the composition of different communities is as given below: (l) Dutch-speaking - 59 per cent (ii) French-speaking - 40 per cent (iii) German-speaking - 01 per cent On the other hand, the composition of Brussels is as follows: (i) French-speaking - 80 per cent (ii) Dutch-speaking - 20 perRead more
In Belgium, the composition of different communities is as given below:
(l) Dutch-speaking – 59 per cent
(ii) French-speaking – 40 per cent
(iii) German-speaking – 01 per cent
On the other hand, the composition of Brussels is as follows:
(i) French-speaking – 80 per cent
(ii) Dutch-speaking – 20 per cent
Thus, Dutch-speaking people are in majority in the country but they are in minority in the capital city of Brussels. On the other hand, French-speaking people are in minority in the country but they are in majority in the capital city of Brussels. This composition of different communities has led to the acceptance of principle of accommodation in Belgium.
(a) Main features of the path of accommodation adopted by Belgian leaders were as given below: (i) Dutch and French-speaking ministers shall be equal in the Central Government. (ii) Some special laws require the support of majority of members from each linguistic group. No single community not evenRead more
(a) Main features of the path of accommodation adopted by Belgian leaders were as given below:
(i) Dutch and French-speaking ministers shall be equal in the Central Government.
(ii) Some special laws require the support of majority of members from each linguistic group. No single community not even majority community (Dutch-speaking) can make decisions unilaterally.
(iii) The state governments are not subordinate to the Central Government. Many powers of the central Government have been given to state Governments.
(iv) There is a separate government in Brussels, the capital of Belgium. Both the communities i.e., French-speaking and Dutch-speaking have equal representation in the Brussels government.
(v) A third government which is called “community government” is elected by people belonging to one language community- Dutch, French and German-speaking – no matter where they live. The community government has power regarding cultural, educational and language-related issues. Thus, the Belgian model is based on the principle of accommodation and reciprocity. To accommodate each other there is equal representation in the Central Government as well as in the Brussels Government.
(b) Consequences: The system is complicated but useful. It has avoided conflicts between the two main communities and a possible division of the country on linguistic lines. It was why the European Union has selected Brussels as its headquarters.

(ii) The governments followed preferential policies that favoured Sinhala applicants for university positions and government jobs.
(iii) A new constitution stipulated that the state shall protect and foster Buddhism. As a result of above measures, the relation between Sinhalas and Tamils strained over time and the distrust between the two communities turned into widespread conflict because Tamils felt that they were being denied equal political rights and were discriminated in government jobs and other opportunities.
