- 5. Challenges Agriculture sector:- In 1951, agriculture provided employment to 72 % of the population and contributed 59 per cent of the gross domestic product. 2001 the population depending upon agriculture decreased 58 % whereas the share of agriculture in the GDP went down drastically to 24 % and further to 22 % in 2006-07 resulted increasing the rural indebtedness.

- 6. Unbalanced Distribution of Benefits:- its gains are not equally distributed, both between and within countries developed and developing. inequality is rising in many countries, particularly in the OECD countries. Worse, job and income insecurity is increasing, particularly for unskilled labor. The urban poor will suffer when food prices rise. Financial Volatility :-Globally integrated markets have financial volatility as a permanent feature, the frequency of financial crises increasing with the growth in international capital flows. The human costs of such financial volatility can be very high, as shown by the effects of the Asian crisis – Bankruptcies poverty increase rising unemployment reduced schooling reduced public services increased social stress and fragmentation More human insecurity :-Crime, disease, and loss of cultural identity.
- 7. Conclusion Globalisation should not be thought of as a solution to everything. It merely provides opportunities. Those who take advantage, they flourish and those who do not they sink. Globalisation is not supposed to produce equality of outcome but it produces equality of opportunity for those with right mindset. Hence the developing countries have to focus on economic restructuring building market supporting institutions and creating efficient regulatory mechanisms.Left to themselves the low income countries cannot travel long. What in fact needed is the international assistance and a support mechanism so as to facilitate their participation in the process of globalisation. The challenge of the hour is to make globalization work towards global prosperity through disaggregate development. The critically necessity in this context are the collective and cooperative actions which should be realized by all countries of the world and particularly the developed ones.
