Description

Definition
Economic activity:
Any activity resulting in production of goods and services that adds value to national product was considered as economic activity. Such activities included production of all goods and services for market i.e. production for pay or profit and the production of primary commodities for own consumption and own account production of fixed assets, among the nonmarket activities. The entire spectrum of human activity falls into two categories viz. economic and non-economic activities. The economic activities have two parts - market activities and non-market activities. Market activities are those that involve remuneration to those who perform it i.e., activity performed for pay or profit. These are essentially production of goods and services for the market including those of government services etc. Non-market activities are the production for own
consumption of primary products including own account processing of primary products and own account production of fixed assets.
