Question on: JAMB Economics - 2002

As a country develops, its economy shifts from primarily agriculture-based to manufacturing and service-based. This transition leads to: * **Reduced need for agricultural labor:** Technological advancements in farming (e.g., mechanization, improved seeds) increase productivity, requiring fewer workers. * **Movement to other sectors:** Workers move to higher-paying jobs in manufacturing, services, and other industries. Therefore, the percentage of the labor force engaged in agriculture decreases.
