1. The situation of transitions in three economic sectors
a. Economic transition is taking place strongly.
The transformation of the labour structure always has a strong attachment to
economic transition. It can be said that developing countries have had labour
transformation between sectors since industrializing. When beginning to industrialize, these
countries’ economies were underdeveloped and at a low level. Economic structure was still
backward, agriculture contributed high density to GDP, industry and services which bring
economy high value still contributed low density to GDP. Industrialization and
modernization process happened quickly, this led to strong change in economic structure,
agriculture density has decreased, industry and service density has increased. The
transformation of the labour structure also happened as a strong revolution. Labour which
made up more than 70% in agriculture decreased; in 2010, this rate was 49,5% in Viet
Nam. Labour density in industry and service increased instead. Therefore, economic

transition happens while a country carries out industrialization and modernization process.
b. Government identify that industrialization and modernization were the
inevitable way
Actually, many countries carried out industrialization, modernization and achieved
many undeniable scientific achievements. Economic transition toward industrialization,
modernization was identified as the indispensable way for Viet Nam to escape quickly
from backward situation, slow development and become a civilized and modern country.
Basic content and req uest of Economic transition toward industrialization, modernization
in our country are a quick increase in GDP from industry and services, a decrease in GDP
from agriculture at once. The process of economic transition will indispensably lead to
economic and social changes toward industrialization, modernization in structure of
economic zones, economic sectors, social labour force, domestic economic structure,
foreign economic structure.
c. Science and technology are developing day by day
On the world, science and technology are more and more developmental. There are
many new inventions and scientific advances are invented. For instance, the use of atomic
energy and solar energy reduced the dependence of humans on mineral source of energy;

the birth of synthetic materials not only helps humans reduce dependence on aregenerative
natural resources but also provides humans with recyclable new sources of material which
have the more preeminent features. The birth and appearance of new materials become
more and more important to social productivity and scientific and technological progress.
2. The reasons of transitions in three economic sectors
a. Workers want to get high in come
Income plays a very important role for workers to meet most of their material and
cultural needs. One of the important purposes for employees is income. They work to earn
money to guarantee survived. They can not pay rent, spend on other necessary goods and
services for life without income. Having high income brings workers a better life.
Therefore, income is one of the important reasons that lead to movement of workers from

agriculture to industry and service.
Workers in the agriculture often have low labor productivity, especially developing
countries, they have small-scale agricultural economy, but there are a lot of labors working
in this sector. So they get only low wages. Meanwhile working in industry and service
which are applied high technology and create high labor productivity. Therefore wage in
these sectors is much higher than the wage that agriculture could bring. In addition,
workers in these sectors is lack, so the industrial and service owners are willing to pay
higher wage to attract workers to work for them.
Therefore workers move from agriculture which has low-income to industry and
service which give them a higher income.
b. Workers want to look for good working environment
Working in agriculture, workers often have to work very hard. They work on fields
where there is no roof. They have to work even when it's sunny or rainy. They also have to
work on field when the weather is very hot or very cold. Working in agriculture not only
brings workers low income, but it is also very hard. In developing countries, it is very slow
to apply technology for working in agriculture so workers spend more power to complete
their work. But industry and services, working environment is much more comfortable than
in agriculture. Workers work in factories, offices, they do not have to suffer from sunny,
rainy and bad weather. They work in which has fan and air conditioning...

People often prefer to work in economic areas where working environment is
comfortable. They love a high-income job but they also enjoy a light work. Workers
always look for a job with good working environment, they move from agriculture to
industry and services, this makes the rate of labor in agriculture is declining while rate of
labor in industry and services are increasing.
c. Technology development
The development of science and technology is widely applied to agricultural
production. People use machinery to replace labor in production, they apply methods of
biotechnology to increase quantity. Tractors, harvesters, sprinklers, pumps, dryers and

other motorized vehicles are used to expand production and save time for workers in the
field. And in small farms, farmers use mechanical devices powered by electric motor.
Many farmers became unemployed, but they can get new jobs if they move from
agriculture to services and industry. Beside, the development of science and technology
increases the effect of production and business in the industry and services. This leads to
the ability of expanding the scale of production, labor demand increases, and they attract
labors from the agricultural sector.
d. Higher demand for industrial and services products
People's living standards are increasing. Their demand for goods and services has
become more diverse and complicated. So they consume more and more industrial and
services products. In addition, the population is rising day by day, the demand for industrial
products and services increases. Increasing in demand for goods requires increasing in
supply of goods. The industrial and services production must expand the scale of
production to guarantee supply of goods to the market. They need more labor, and the
workers were attracted from the agricultural sector.
e. Government’s development policy
Promoting industrialization and modernization is urgently required to push back the
risk of a depression economic. So we have to have a corresponding shift about labor
structure, transition of labor in industry, occupations, regions, territories and between
economic sectors, suitable structuring of labor is conditions to promote industrialization -
modernization of the country. Many areas (mountainous, midland and coastal islands) have
