Primary producing. One of the basic characteristics of an underdeveloped economy is that it is primary producing. A very high proportion of working population is engaged in agriculture, which contributes a very large share in the national income.
In India, in 1981, about 71 per cent of the working population was engaged in agriculture and its contribution to national income was 36 per cent.
In Asia, Africa and Middle East countries countries from two-thirds to more than four-fifths of the population earn their livelihood from agriculture, and in most Latin American countries from two-thirds to three-fourths of population engaged in agriculture in developed countries is much less than the proportion of population engaged in agriculture in underdeveloped countries.
