Comparing within the periods when the series were consistent, the trends in shares of agriculture in employment and in GDP were diverging in the 1990s, while in the 2000s these shares moved in the same direction. Indeed, there were strong labour adjustments throughout the post-independence period when people moved in the 1990s to the countryside as a coping mechanism, but the onset of economic growth in the 2000s brought on rural-urban migration. However, agriculture continues to be the largest sector in terms of employment (26% in 2011) and there is a considerable gap between labour productivity in this sector and the rest of the economy.
