Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Agricultural Employment Transformation in the World
Agricultural employment transformation refers to the process in which,with economic develop-ment,the proportion of agriculture in national economies and employment structures gradually declines.This results in a decrease in the number of jobs within the agricultural sector as labor shifts from agricul-ture to non-agricultural sectors.Due to geographical differences among countries,this process is not uni-form across time and varies significantly in pace.Conducting a systematic study on agricultural employ-ment transformation globally holds significant importance.Developed countries completed this transition largely between the mid-19th century and the first half of the 20th century,while developing nations in Latin America and North Africa entered their transformative phase during the latter half of the 20th centu-ry.Many Asian countries are currently undergoing this process.The acceleration of agricultural employ-ment transformation has been driven by technological advancements and deepening global division of la-bor.Based on statistical data from 162 countries,this study analyzes agriculture's role within economic frameworks and employment contexts while examining agricultural employment transformation against the backdrop of overall structural changes from 1991 to 2019.The research identifies five distinct stages char-acterizing the temporal and spatial progression of agricultural employment transformation,highlighting that different countries follow varied paths toward achieving this transition.
