Solution
- In developed countries, there is the development of industries, infrastructure, and trade.
- Therefore, more people are engaged in secondary, tertiary, and quaternary activities.
- These countries replace human labour with machinery. So agricultural activities can be carried out with a minimum number of people and can use machinery.
- As a result, multiple job opportunities arise in the non-primary sectors, while primary activities like farming are carried out with the help of modern technology.
- Therefore, the percentage of the population engaged in agriculture is low in developed countries.
