The Labor Productivity Gap between the Agricultural and Nonagricultural Sectors, and Poverty and Inequality Reduction in Asia
The objective of this paper is to examine how agricultural and nonagricultural labor productivities have grown over time and whether the growth pattern affected poverty in low- and middle-income economies in Asia. We first examine whether labor productivities in the agricultural and nonagricultural...

| description | The objective of this paper is to examine how agricultural and nonagricultural
labor productivities have grown over time and whether the growth pattern
affected poverty in low- and middle-income economies in Asia. We first examine
whether labor productivities in the agricultural and nonagricultural sectors
have converged, finding evidence that they did not as the latter have grown
faster. We then confirm that both agricultural and nonagricultural labor
productivities have converged across economies and that the convergence effect
is stronger for the nonagricultural sector. We have also observed that, despite
the relatively slower growth in agricultural labor productivity, the
agricultural sector played an important role in promoting nonagricultural labor
productivity and thus in nonagricultural growth. Finally, we have found some
evidence that the labor productivity gap reduces rural and urban poverty, as
well as national-level inequality. |
