The majority of the population shifts their job from agriculture to service Sector.
The unemployment levels gradually increase with industrialization.
All of the above
Correct Answer:
The majority of the population shifts their job from agriculture to factories.
Explanation:
A prime feature of industrial societies today is that a large majority of the employed population work in factories, offices or shops rather than agriculture. Over 90 per cent of people in the west live in towns and cities, where most jobs are to be found and new job opportunities are created. Not surprisingly, therefore, we usually associate urbanisation with industrialisation.
