Emerging Market Countries

This article analyzes the structural transformation in 30 emerging market countries (E30) on the dimensions of industry, trade, and urbanization. It finds that first, in the agricultural sector, E30 have contributed greatly to the increase of the global agricultural productivity and the transfer of labor force from the agricultural sector to industry or the service sector. However, these countries still feature a high percentage of agricultural employment, which means there is vast room for shifting the agricultural labor force. Second, in the industrial sector, E30 have made remarkable contributions to the world’s industrial development but have also displayed a trend of premature “deindustrialization.” Third, the service sector has picked up speed and gradually turned into a new driver of economic development in E30. Against this backdrop, E30 face the major challenge of how to cope with the premature deindustrialization and smoothly shift the economic growth engine from the industrial sector to the service sector. Fourth, E30 have become an important force in the world trade, with their trade structure switching from simple, primary, low-value-added goods to sophisticated, high-grade, and high-value-added goods and services. However, some emerging market countries are more susceptible to the impacts of the anti-globalization trend because of their high reliance on foreign trade and improper trade structure. Therefore, how to diversify the economy and enhance its economic resilience holds the key to the sustainable economic development of E30. Fifth, E30 have contributed greatly to world urbanization. As urbanization relies more on the service sector than on the industrial sector, it is vital to properly strike a balance between industrialization and urbanization, and between industrialization and service sector development.

The Government

Agriculture remains the dominant supporter of the Indian populace. The thriving industry and service sectors depend on the agricultural sector for their development. The inter-linkage among the three sectors could not be undermined at any cost. It is the massive absorbent of the labor force even though the disguised unemployment exists in varied magnitude. The share of agriculture to the GDP has come down from 57.7% in 1950-51 to 32.2% in 1990-91 at the time of liberalization, 24.6% in 2000-2001, 15.7% in 2009-2010 then 17%. In the post-independence era, stagnant production, low productivity, traditional technology, and poor rural infrastructure were the major challenges for the Government. India is principally an agricultural country. The agriculture sector estimates 18.0% of the GDP and employs 52% of the total workforce. There is a continuous steady decay in its presence towards the GDP, and the agriculture sector is losing its shine and anchor position in the Indian economy. The problems with which the Indian agricultural scenario is charged in present times are many. Still, this in no way undermines the interest of the sector and the role it can play in the holistic and inclusive growth of the country. Agriculture is fundamental for the sustenance of an economy, as is food for a human being.

В современном мире происходит формирование нового мирохозяйственного уклада, который характеризуется нестабильностью геополитической обстановки и «перекроением» торгово-экономических отношений, а также форсированным развитием высоких технологий и их активным внедрением в производственную сферу. В этой связи актуальным вопросом является усиление позиций России на международном рынке посредством реализации конкурентных преимуществ отечественных продовольственных товаров. Основа любого высокоэффективного и качественного производства, в том числе и аграрного, – техническая и технологическая оснащенность, высокий уровень которой обеспечивает своевременное выполнение агротехнологических мероприятий без нарушения технологических сроков сельскохозяйственных работ. Проведенные исследования показали, что в нашей стране отмечается значительное отставание в техникотехнологической обеспеченности и инновационности АПК в сравнении с передовыми аграрными странами, что не позволяет в полной мере реализовать потенциал сельскохозяйственной отрасли. В развитых странах мира отмечается переход к шестому технологическому укладу, основанному на применении наукоемких технологий. В этой связи для нашей страны все большую актуальность приобретают вопросы техникотехнологической модернизации и цифровизации аграрной отрасли, повышения инновационной активности субъектов агробизнеса, повсеместного использования научных достижений пятого технологического уклада и ускоренного перехода на «рельсы» шестого технологического уклада. Решение данных вопросов обеспечит паритет России с ведущими аграрными странами по качественным и количественным характеристикам выпускаемой сельскохозяйственной продукции на международном рынке. Одним из решений данной проблемы может стать разработка и внедрение единой государственной политики модернизации аграрной отрасли страны. In the modern world a new world economic structure is being formed, which is characterized by the instability of the geopolitical situation and the «redrawing» of trade and economic relations, as well as the forced development of high technologies and their active introduction into the production sphere. In this regard, an urgent issue is the strengthening of Russia's position in the international market through the implementation of competitive advantages of domestic food products. The basis of any high-efficiency and high-quality production, including agricultural, is technical and technological equipment, the high level of which ensures the timely implementation of agricultural technological measures without violating the technological terms of agricultural work. The conducted studies have shown that in our country there is a significant lag in the technical and technological provision and innovation of the agro-industrial complex in comparison with advanced agricultural countries, which does not allow us to fully realize the potential of the agricultural industry. In the developed countries of the world, there is a transition to the sixth technological structure, based on the use of high-tech technologies. In this regard, the issues of technical and technological modernization and digitalization of the agricultural sector, increasing the innovative activity of agribusiness entities, the widespread use of scientific achievements of the fifth technological structure and the accelerated transition to the «rails» of the sixth technological structure are becoming increasingly relevant for our country. The solution of these issues will ensure the parity of Russia with the leading agricultural countries in terms of the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of agricultural products on the international market. One of the solutions to this problem can be the development and implementation of a unified state policy for the modernization of the agricultural sector of the country.

Given the expanding needs of the global food market, it is not surprising that the Japanese are trying hard to make their agriculture sector competitive n the global market. The article discusses the current situation in agriculture and the potential for its further development, most of all, the situation with the cultivated area and labor force. The results of government measures taken to increase the efficiency of production, a change in its structure, and increase in the value of hired labor, changes in the forms of production participants themselves are shown: along with rural yards with small land allotments, sometimes various associations appear; in other words, the pattern of development of the agricultural sector is gradually changing. But to achieve this goal there are still many obstacles administrative economic, social.

The U.S

Agriculture has been among the most productive sectors of the U.S. economy. The agricultural sector uses only four percent of the labor force to produce food needed for both domestic use and export demand. Consumers in the U.S. spend only about 17 percent of their disposable income on food, the smallest percentage of any country in the world.That energy has been recognized as the propelling force for current and continuing agricultural productivity, along with the prospect of much higher costs, have given rise to a growing interest in technologies or systems of agriculture that are less energy intensive. Possible future adjustments in agriculture may affect output levels, costs and conservation of land and water qualities.

The aim of this study is to examine the evolution of inequality by focusing on the impacts of the economic structure. The technique of decomposition by income sources is employed to evaluate the contribution of the three major sectors, namely the agricultural, industrial, and service sectors to overall inequality. The data cover almost all the countries in the world from 2001 to 2017 for a total of 18 years. There are four stages of analysis in this study. The first stage of study is to provide an overall view of the evolutionary trend of global inequality, the second stage focuses on the North-South divide, the third stage determines the impacts of income groups, and the fourth stage investigates the impacts for each region. There are several salient findings: First, global inequality had declined in the study period. Second, the service sector is identified as the largest contributor to global inequality, followed by the industrial sector, while the contribution of the agricultural sector is negligible. For the North-South divide, disparity in the service sector was more marked in the North than in the South. The industrial sector played a major role in the South and contributed more than 40% to overall inequality. For the comparison amongst the income groups, our findings show that the higher the income, the higher the percentage contribution of the service sector (except for the low-income group). Finally, for the comparison across regions, although the contribution of the agricultural sector in most regions are below 1.5%; however, the contribution of the agricultural sector in both Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia is more than 8%. It implies that a lot of people in these regions still rely on the agricultural sector for a living, and the development in the industrial and service sectors in these two regions lagged behind those of the other regions. Our analysis show that the evolution pattern is very different for each region, therefore, it is necessary to take the effects of income and geographical location into consideration in formulating development policies.
