Question

In rural areas, what percentage of the workforce does NOT depend on the primary sector?

Options

• 40 per cent

• 60 per cent

• 21 per cent

• 19 per cent

Answer 1

If 60 per cent of rural workers depend on the primary sector, then 40 per cent do not depend on it. This 40 per cent is distributed between the secondary sector (21 per cent) and service sector (19 per cent), showing the rural economy's diversification beyond agriculture.
