Question

Give geographical reason

Less population is engaged in agriculture in developed countries

Answer 1

1. The working population takes part in various primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary occupations.
2. The proportion of the working population engaged in various sectors is a good indicator of the levels of economic development of a nation.
3. This is because only a developed economy with industries and infrastructure can accommodate more workers in the secondary, tertiary and quaternary sector. 
4. Only if the economy is still agrarian, then the proportion of people engaged in primary activities is high.
5. In developed countries, people prefer jobs in the manufacturing and service sectors rather than in agriculture.

Hence, in develop countries, the percentage of the population engaged in agriculture is low.
