Abstract
This article has two inter‐related themes. First there is the process of displacement of labour from the subsistence or peasant sector through the impact of mechanisation ‐ which creates a “surplus population”. The second theme is that of labour absorption in the subsistence and market sectors and labour underutilisation. The magnitude of the underutilisation problem suggests that growth in the developing countries has followed an uneven profile.
