| Abstract | Cross-national regressions reveal abnormally low ag ricultural workforce shares, given GNP, in developing countries that had historically conce trated land into large capital-intensive farms. We argue that such deagriculturalisation was premature, since its concomitant labour shedding has undesirable outcomes. In a new South A frican survey, a large proportion of rural households (and working-age persons) was ‘depen dent’, relying for income almost wholly on either migrant remittances or pensions. A separa te group (with less poverty and unemployment) relied mainly on local, including own-far m, income. The group was heavily overrepresented in one of the three regions, where many more households had significant land. * Correspondence to Professor Michael Lipton, Poverty Research Unit, University of Sussex, Falmer, Brigh ton BN1 9SJ, United Kingdom.
