Dual-Sector Economy in the Lewis Model
The Lewis model conceptualizes an economy as being divided into two distinct parts: a modern 'capitalist' sector focused on industrial production, and a traditional 'subsistence' sector composed of family farms that produce just enough to meet their basic needs.

According to the dual-sector model of economic development, which of the following best describes the primary catalyst for the structural transformation of an economy from a traditional, subsistence-based system to a modern, industrial one?
Wage Dynamics in a Dual-Sector Economy
A dual-sector economy consists of a low-productivity traditional sector and a high-productivity modern sector. According to the model explaining this structural transformation, arrange the following events into the correct logical sequence that leads to overall economic growth.
A developing country is observed to have a large agricultural sector and a growing industrial sector. However, as industries expand and hire more workers from rural areas, industrial wages rise sharply from the very beginning of this process, and food prices increase significantly due to a shortage of agricultural labor. Which aspect of this scenario presents the most significant challenge to the foundational assumptions of the dual-sector model of economic development?

Match each key concept from the dual-sector model of economic development with its correct description.
According to the dual-sector model of economic development, the initial expansion of the modern industrial sector and its absorption of labor from the traditional agricultural sector is expected to cause an immediate and significant rise in industrial wages.

Labor Migration and Industrial Growth
In an economy described by a two-sector model, the modern industrial sector begins to expand, drawing workers from the traditional subsistence sector. Assuming the subsistence sector has a large surplus of labor (where workers can leave without reducing total output), what is the most likely immediate effect on the industrial sector?
Match each characteristic to the economic sector it describes within a two-sector model of development.
Wage Dynamics in a Dual-Sector Economy
Critiquing the Assumptions of the Two-Sector Model
In an economy described by a two-sector model, the initial transfer of workers from the traditional subsistence sector to the expanding modern industrial sector causes wages in the subsistence sector to rise immediately.
Arrange the following events in the logical order they would occur as an economy develops according to a two-sector model, starting from an initial state of industrial expansion.
According to the two-sector model of economic development, what is the primary reason that wages in the modern industrial sector can remain stable and low during the initial phase of industrialization?
