The Industrialization of China took place in the 1960s to the 1990s. In the 1950s, about 80% of the Chinese labor force were employed in agriculture. The figure remained more or less constant throughout the early phase of industrialization during the 1960s and 1970s, but in view of the rapid population growth this amounted to a rapid growth of the industrial sector in absolute terms, of up to 8% per year during the 1970s.

  • The Industrialization of China took place in the 1960s to the 1990s. In the 1950s, about 80% of the Chinese labor force were employed in agriculture. The figure remained more or less constant throughout the early phase of industrialization during the 1960s and 1970s, but in view of the rapid population growth this amounted to a rapid growth of the industrial sector in absolute terms, of up to 8% per year during the 1970s. By 1990, the fraction of the labor force employed in agriculture had fallen to about 60%, and by 2000 further to about 40%.
