In the largest Asian. countries, uhile j.ndusEry continues to generate nefl enployment opportunit.ies, the long-terrn effecCs of technological changes on enplolment in agrlculture rernain uncertain. Sone jobs in and out of agriculture have been gained by the introduction of the high-yieldinq varieties of crops and associated hew tecbniques (the Green Revolulion). Others, however, have been los!' the balance differing fron area to area and frorn first introduction to lridespread use of.the ner technioues. There has been a net gain in emplolment where the number of oltner-cu ltivators substantial.ly outnurnbered tenants, squaeters and olher landless Iabourers before the introduction of the new Eecbniques. Even in such favourable circunstances, sorne initial disruption has typically taken place. fn those poor areas where the creen Revolution has not. laken hold, conditions have been tjpically hrorse. Losses resulting fron the subdivision of holdings, increasing incidence of landlessness and population pressure on labour narkets wer€ not offset in those areas by gains in off-farm ernployment and incorne-earningopportunities, nor by substantial increases in overall food supplies and seasonalgood security. A major.Cask renaining is to extend the coverage of the Green Revolution techniques by expand ing the areas under irrigation, by instibutj.onalreforns to reduce the need for expensive inputs without lowering the yield ofgrains, and by further research into raising yields of lesser staples, especiallythose grown under rain-fed conditions. 192.
