Explanation:

The number of female workers is relatively lower in the primary sector: This statement is generally true. In India, the participation of women in the primary sector (agriculture) is lower compared to men. Women's participation tends to be higher in the secondary and tertiary sectors.

In recent decades, variations in the proportion of workers in different fields of work indicate a sectoral shift in the Indian economy: This statement is also correct. India has experienced a noticeable sectoral shift in its economy over recent decades. There has been a decline in the proportion of workers engaged in agriculture (primary sector) and an increase in workers in industry and services (secondary and tertiary sectors). This reflects the changing structure of the Indian economy.

Therefore, both statements 1 and 2 are correct.
