Question 2 of 4
2. Question
‘Lewis Model’ was seen in the news recently, which explains the growth of a developing economy in terms of a labour transition between which sectors?
Correct
Answer:(A)
Explanation:
In 1954, the Saint Lucian economist William Arthur Lewis wrote on the enormous industrialisation possibilities for underdeveloped countries having an unlimited supply of labour available at subsistence wages. The marginal productivity of such labour, engaged in sectors such agriculture, was “negligible, zero, or even negative”: Their withdrawal from farms would, far from reducing agricultural output, make the existing holdings more viable and amenable to productivity-enhancing mechanisation.
Lewis’ influential essay (‘Economic Development with Unlimited Supplies of Labour’) argued that an expanding manufacturing (“capitalist”) sector could absorb much of the surplus labour in agriculture and other “subsistence” sectors. All it had to do was pay wages just high enough to make men leave the family farm. So long as the higher subsistence wage levels matched the value of the additional output that was produced, the factories would keep hiring workers. In this situation, “new industries can be created, or old industries expanded, without limit”.
