摘要

Developing nations are experiencing difficulty obtaining foreign capital. This study tests whether population control measures, programs to promote labor-intensive, bio-chemical agriculture, and/or promotion of agricultural exports can reduce the capital investment needed to achieve self-sustaining growth.;Results highlight that labor redundance is not a purely demographic phenomenon. Rather, it is a technological outcome. Thus, a country which initially is considered underpopulated and resource-abundant, such as Argentina, may through mechanization assume characteristics of a resource-deficient and overpopulated country. Likewise, a resource-deficient, overpopulated nation such as the Philippines, may, through bio-chemical technologies, assume characteristics of a resource-rich, underpopulated country.;The study contributes to development theory by deriving a formula that relates the fraction of the labor force that can remain in agriculture when the economy achieves self-sustained growth to the initial fraction of labor in agriculture, the net transfer rate of labor from agriculture to industry and the planned or targeted year for achieving self-sustained growth.;A two-sector model originally developed by Ranis and Fei is modified and applied to the empirical cases of Nigeria, Argentina and the Philippines. Results support the hypothesis that labor-biased, bio-chemical agricultural technologies are most effective in reducing capital needs, followed by population control and increased agricultural exports.
