What is the reason behind most people working in the agricultural sector?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Other sectors do not absorb people from agriculture.
- As countries develop, the share of the population working in agriculture is declining.
- While further than two-thirds of the population in poor countries work in agriculture, lower than 5% of the population does in rich countries.
- It's generally the huge productivity increase that makes this reduction in labor possible.
- Also, productivity earnings make it possible to reduce the agrarian land demanded to feed a given number of people.
- People didn't get higher returns in agriculture. Instead, they involve in agriculture because there is no experience required and also no qualification.
- The main reason is unemployment.
