India's Economy - Part 1


Tenth largest nominal GDP in the world. 
Fourth largest in terms of purchasing power parity.
At a rapid growth of 8.5 in 2010-11.
The GDP is split into services (55.2%), industry (26.3%), and agriculture (18.5%).

PROBLEMS
Even after so much growth, approximately 27% of Indians still earn under $1000 per year
This causes a massive differences between the incomes of people in India.
There is also a high rate of unemployment, reaching nearly 10.8% in 2010
These problems can be blamed on corruption.
Corruption has caused many business to not choose India as a location to set up.
The inflation is at 9.22%, but this isn’t worrying people as much as it is in china.
