Resumen
Descripción
Postreform, agriculture has made important but declining contributions to China's national economic development in terms of GDP share and employment. Before 1980, agriculture contributed more than 30 percent of China's GDP and half of its export earnings. These shares fell below 20 percent by the early 1990s (Huang and Chen 1999). Agriculture employed 81 percent of the country's labor in 1970, but only 50 percent in 1996.
