This season, rural markets, for the first time after the outbreak of the pandemic, are showing signs of revival. Even ahead of the festive season, Nielsen IQ’s data on rural FMCG volume growth in the April-June quarter showed an increase of 4%, albeit on a contraction in volume the previous year. The momentum continued the next quarter. Yet, both FMCG firms and analysts are guarded in their outlook. Why?  \n(A) A recovery in rural consumption has been helped by a combination of subsidies extended by GOI and many states that has partially insulated consumers from energy and food shocks. Pump prices of petrol and diesel have remained unchanged since May 2022 and LPG prices have been slashed. Also, GOI has extended free benefits under PDS for another five years and some states have been providing monthly income support to targeted households. This support inevitably has a knock-on eãect on discretionary spending, which is now apparent in rural consumption data. Going back to the guarded optimism on rural spending growth’s durability, the concern is the lopsided post-pandemic recovery in the employment market. GOI’s employment data shows that between the pre-pandemic 2018-19 and 2022-23, there are two divergent trends. There’s a marked increase in quantity  \nindicators, the percentage of people in the job market has increased while the unemployment rate has declined. Therefore, more people are employed now. On the other hand, there’s a deterioration in the quality of employment. A big part of the incremental addition to jobs is in the self-employed category, while the share of regular wage jobs has decreased. In 2022-23, 57.3% of the labour force was self-employed, higher by 5.2 percentage points since 2018-19. The change in the relative share of employment is because people have moved back to agriculture. Between 2018-19 and 2022-23, there’s been a 3.3 percentage point increase in share of agriculture in the sector-wise classification of jobs. It now stands at 45.8% . The worsening of the quality of jobs represents the biggest obstacle to quickening the pace of economic growth. Private consumption makes up around 60% of India’s GDP. Unless the purchasing power improves through better quality jobs in manufacturing and services, it will be challenging for  \nQ1 What is the most appropriate title for the passage based on its content?  \n(A) Challenges in Rural FMCG Growth  \n(B) Government Subsidies and Economic Recovery  \n(C) Job Quality and Economic Sustainability  \n(D) Impact of Pandemic on Private Consumption  \n(E) None of these  \nQ2 What emotional quality does the author'stone convey in discussing the rural economy?  \nAndroid App | iOS App | PW Website  \nBanking  \n(A) Jovial and light-hearted  \n(B) Solemn and contemplative  \n(C) Impassive and indiãerent  \n(D) Cynical and mocking  \n(E) None of these  \nQ3 What tone does the author predominantly convey in the passage?  \n(A) Optimistic and encouraging  \n(B) Neutral and factual  \n(C) Critical and cautionary  \n(D) Pessimistic and alarming  \n(E) None of these  \nQ4 Which statement accurately assesses the correctness of the statements derived from the passage?  \nI.
