Evaluating Policy in a Two-Sector Economy
A government in a developing nation, whose economy is characterized by a large traditional subsistence sector and a small but growing modern industrial sector, proposes to implement a legally mandated minimum wage in the subsistence sector. This new wage would be set significantly above the current average earnings of subsistence workers. Based on the principles of a two-sector model of economic development, evaluate the likely impact of this policy on the nation's industrialization process. Justify your conclusion.

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.

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?
