Labor Transfer in the Lewis Model
A key process in the Lewis model is the transfer of labor from the subsistence sector to the capitalist sector. This migration is triggered when the capitalist sector becomes profitable and expands, creating new employment opportunities that attract workers from traditional farming.

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?

Economic Shift in a Developing Nation
In a dual-sector economy, a specific sequence of events leads to the movement of workers from a traditional, subsistence farming sector to a modern, capitalist industrial sector. Arrange the following events in the correct causal order to illustrate this labor transfer process.
In a dual-sector economy, the modern industrial sector implements advanced technology. However, due to high setup costs and weak initial demand, this sector fails to become profitable and does not expand its operations. Based on the principles of labor migration in this economic model, what is the most likely immediate outcome?
The Role of Capitalist Sector Profitability in Labor Migration
In a dual-sector economic model, the primary trigger for workers moving from the traditional farming sector to the modern industrial sector is a sudden decline in agricultural productivity, which pushes them to seek alternative employment.

The Catalyst for Labor Migration in a Dual Economy
In a dual-sector economic model, the movement of labor from the subsistence agricultural sector to the modern industrial sector is primarily triggered by the ______ of the industrial sector, which leads to its expansion and creation of new employment opportunities.
In a developing economy with a large traditional farming sector and a smaller modern industrial sector, the industrial sector introduces significant technological innovations. Despite these advancements, there is no significant movement of workers from farming to industrial jobs. Which of the following scenarios best explains this lack of labor transfer?
In a dual-sector economy, the modern industrial sector becomes profitable and begins to expand, creating a demand for new workers. For this expansion to successfully draw a significant workforce from the traditional agricultural sector without causing a widespread food shortage, which of the following conditions is most critical?
