The countries with the lowest share of employment in agriculture have high rates of decline in agricultural employment and high growth of labour productivity. Furthermore, productivity growth in agriculture is clearly related with that in other sectors. 9 (p. 6). The correlation coefficients indicate that 51–69 per cent of variance can be explained. This finding suggests that in particular, growth of labour productivity in nonagricultural sectors contributes strongly to agricultural performance, especially after 1975.
However, the efforts and capabilities to generate technological innovation in developing countries are still far less than in developed countries. This is partly because most political leaders in developing countries tended to give priority to industrialization rather than to agricultural development. Also it appeared in the post-war period that industrial technology was easier to transfer than agricultural technology. It could be transferred in the form of joint-ventures and the results appeared rapidly.
In all regions the developing countries showed on average more rapid growth of labour productivity in industry than in agriculture. Only the industrial economies and the Middle East-Mediterranean region showed the opposite. In this subperiod the shift of comparative advantage in agricultural production to the industrial economies was more pronounced than in the period 1960–85 as a whole. The oil crises, the monetary instability, the financial crisis and the slow-down of growth in the industrial economies had a strong impact on labour productivity performance in most developing countries in the period 1975–85.
