Abstract: Abstract As the dual development model illustrates, the movement of labour from the traditional (agricultural) sector to the modern (industrial) sector inevitably accompanies economic development (Lewis, 1954; Fei and Ranis, 1964). The vigorous movement of labour from one sector to another exhausts the previously ‘unlimited’ labour supply and constitutes the ‘turning point’ which is a landmark in economic development. Because the industrial sector constitutes the core of the modern sector, the degree to which employment can be absorbed decisively influences when the turning point will occur.
