As we have seen with Urbanization and GDP by Sector, poorer countries (who have less GDP Per Capita), such as India, have the majority of their population in the countryside working as farmers. As countries get richer, more and more of the population move to the cities - indeed hundreds of millions of Chinese and Indians have moved to cities this decade. The labor force will move from predominantly agricultural to predominantly manufacturing, factory-based laborers, as is the case in much of South East Asia. When economies develop further, the labor force shifts again, and will be services-based, working out of offices. This is the case in the US and Europe.
