The main worker, according to the Census of India, is a person who works for at least how many days in a year?
- a.180 Days
- b.181 Days
- c.182 Days
- d.183 Days
Answer: (D) 183 Days
The Census of India defines a main worker as a person who worked for 6 months or more, that is, at least 183 days, in the year before the census. A person who worked for less than 183 days is a marginal worker. The other figures fall just short of six months. Main and marginal workers together make up the census's total workers.
