Economic Development and Employment Shifts

Steps:

• Recall that development involves industrialization and urbanization, pulling workers from agriculture to cities.
• Identify primary employment as agriculture (rural), secondary as manufacturing, and tertiary as services.
• Note patterns from Rostow's stages: early stages rely on rural/agricultural jobs; later stages shift to urban/industrial/services.
• Match options to this progression: rural-to-urban fits the urban migration trend.

Why A is correct:

• In development models like Lewis dual-sector, labor moves from rural subsistence farming to urban modern sectors, increasing urban employment share.

Why the others are wrong:

• B: Development boosts skilled jobs, not reverses to primary (agricultural) employment.
• C: It emphasizes technical over manual labor as productivity rises.
• D: Tertiary (services) grows dominant, not secondary (manufacturing).

Final answer: A
