Solution
As an economy develops, there is a gradual shift of labour from the primary sector (agriculture) to the secondary (industry) and tertiary (service) sectors. This process is accompanied by rural-to-urban migration as workers seek employment in urban industrial and service centres. This is a fundamental pattern of economic development observed across developing economies.
