The occupational structure of a country is closely interlinked with its economic

development. In the advanced countries, a very large proportion of working force is

engaged in tertiary and secondary occupation and only a small proportion of workers

are engaged in the primary activities. On the other hand, in backward or underdeveloped

countries, the largest percentage of workers are engaged in agriculture, and other

primary occupations while a small fraction of the working force is engaged in secondary

and tertiary occupations. Emphasising this close relationship between economic

development and the occupational structure in a country, it can be said that a high

average level of real income per head is always associated with a high proportion of

working population engaged in tertiary production and a low percentage in primary

production.

The empirical evidence gathered from the various studies of the contemporary

advanced countries over the course of their development shows that with the

development of an economy, there is a shift of workers from the primary sector to the

secondary and tertiary sectors. The percentages of workers engaged in the secondaryand tertiary sector increases while that in the primary sector decreases. However, the

absolute number of people in agriculture and allied activities may keep on increasing in

the face of increasing population, though their proportion to the total population

decreases. When the economy reaches a higher stage of economic development, the

absolute number of people engaged in agriculture also declines, while that in secondary

and tertiary sector increases. When the economy achieves a high rate of growth and

8/8/2019 08 June III

4J0808

reaches a state of economy maturity, the population of workers engaged in tertiary

sector may even become larger than the population in secondary sector. There are

number of reasons for such changes in occupational structure with the development of

an economy. Firstly, economic development leads to fast-spread of industries in urban

centres and hence much labour is attracted to them from the low productive and low

income agricultural occupations. Secondly, as incomes of the people rise under economic

development, their expenditure on the non-agricultural goods rises more than in

proportion to their expenditure on agricultural goods such as food. In fact, beyond a

point the demand for food may not increase while that for the industrial goods and

services rises as income goes on increasing. Hence, there is expectation of industrialand commercial activities and the number of workers rises sharply and the commercial

activities and the number of workers rises sharply in non agricultural sectors. Finally,

with increasing agricultural productive a small number of workers can produce the

required amount of agricultural goods as the demand is not rising in proportion and

rise in income. Hence, only a smaller percentage of workers stay in the primary sector

while more and more move to the secondary and tertiary sectors.
