Our studies show that a 10% increase in urban expenditure is associated with a 4.8%
increase in rural non-farm employment
As supply chains strengthen across the country, growing urban demand could provide a

Using an econometric approach spanning the past 26 years, their study shows that a Rs.
100 ($2.50) increase in urban consumption expenditure leads to an increase of Rs. 39
(just under $1) in rural household incomes
Our interpretation of the data suggests that a sustained urban household consumption
growth rate, similar to that seen over the last decade, could lead to 6.3 million non-farm
jobs in rural areas and $91 billion in real rural household incomes over the next decade
