For instance, it indicated the shift from household to non-household sector in which the relatively smaller enterprises (i.e. employing less than six workers) are playing significant role especially in terms of employment generation. Over time, these enterprises have also shifted to urban areas and thereby improved their productivity as well as earnings. The next segment in the size-hierarchy (i.e. employing between six to nine workers) does not seem to be expanding so rapidly. This may be because a significant part of the growing enterprises in this segment might have crossed the threshold size and joined the rank of the organised sector. Thus, the changing size-structure suggests a bi-polar situation where the NDMEs and the organised modern enterprises are growing at the expense of own account enterprises and the DMEs...
