a. Lesser women are found in regular salaried employment in India, because: 

(i) jobs generally require skills and high level of literacy. 

(ii) lack of mobility among women in India due to social constraints.

b. The given data indicates that over the given period, the proportion of workforce in primary sector has gone down from 64% in 1993-94 to 24.3% in 2011-12, this account to nearly a fall of 20% over the years. Whereas, the employment share of both secondary and the services sector has increased in India. 

The share of secondary sector has gone up by approximately 9% (from 16% in 1993-94 to 24% approximately in 2011-12), the corresponding figure for services sector has gone up by 7% (from 20% in 1993-94 to 27% approximately in 2011-12). 

These sectoral changes have been very significant in the growth journey of India, showing the gradual shift of the workforce from primary sector to the secondary and tertiary sector.
