About The Journal



The National Research journal of Human Resource Management (NRJHRM) ISSN: 2394-059X is a Biannual Peer-reviewed journal devoted to the publication of scholarly conceptual/theoretical articles pertaining to human resource management and allied fields (e.g. organizational behavior, industrial/organizational psychology, labor relations). Meta-analytical reviews that make a conceptual/theoretical contribution are also appropriate.

Its purpose is to provide a forum for ideas that will stimulate and lead to empirical research, as well as for the critical examination of existing concepts, models, and frameworks. Subject areas considered appropriate include, but are not limited to, personnel selection, compensation, performance appraisal, attraction and retention, training and development, human resource applications of computer technology, and human resource planning. All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.

DIVERSIFYING BEYOND THE FIELDS: A REVIEW OF EMPLOYMENT PATTERNS IN THE RURAL NON-FARM SECTOR
Author: Naveen Sharma

ABSTRACT
The rural non-farm sector (RNFS) has grown significantly over the past few decades,
evolving into a vital component of rural livelihoods across developing countries, especially in
India. This paper presents a systematic review of key studies exploring employment
diversification in the RNFS, highlighting patterns, determinants, and implications for rural
development. The literature reveals a complex interplay of pull and push factors—including
declining farm profitability, urban proximity, education, caste, gender, and infrastructure—
that shape participation in non-farm employment. While some studies emphasize the role of
RNFS in reducing rural poverty and unemployment, others point to structural inequalities and
regional disparities in access and outcomes. Despite the growing policy focus on rural
transformation, major empirical gaps remain concerning occupational preferences, earnings,
and time use within the RNFS. This review concludes by identifying critical directions for
future research and policy, particularly the need for region-specific evidence and inclusive
employment strategies.
Keywords: Rural Non-Farm Sector (RNFS), Employment Diversification, Rural
