摘要
在世界经济的近现代历史上,实现工业化的国家,其产业结构都发生了明显的变化。农业在国民收入中的比重、农业人口占全部人口的比重,以及农业劳动力占全部劳动力的比重,都不断降低。1983年,美国农业人口降至全部人口的1.9%,成为仅次于英国(1.8%)的农业人口比重最少的国家。就美国全国范围来说,从发生大规模的农业劳动力转移,到目前的水平,仅用了近80年时间,这在世界上是首屈一指的。因此。
A general outline of the shift of labor away from the agricul-tural sector in the United States.Industrialization has been re-sponsible for this shift.It also determines which sector andwhich geographical area the labor is moving into.Problemsassociated with the shift include a higher rate ofunemployment on the part of the former agricultural workersdue to their relative lower education level and lack of non—ag-ricultural skills.
