Read this passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
In many places in the world today the poor are getting poorer while the rich are getting richer, and the programmes of development planning are foreign and appear to be unable to reverse this trend.
Nearly all the developing countries have a modes sector, where the patterns of living any working are similar to those ii developed countries.
But they also hay a non-modern sector, where the pattern of living and working are not one, unsatisfactory, but in many cases are even getting worse. What is the typical condition of the poor in developing countries? Their work opportunities are so limited that they cannot work in their way out of their situation. They are underemployed, or totally unemployed when they do find occasional work their productivity is extremely low Some of than have land, but often too little land. Many have no land, and no prospect of ever getting any.
There is no hope for them in the rural areas and so they drift into the big cities. But there is no work for them in the big cities either and of course no housing. All the same they flock into the cities because their chances of finding somework appear to be greater than in the villages where they arc nil. Rural unemployment, then produces mass migration into the cities; rural unemployment becomes urban unemployment.
The problem can be stated quite simply; what can be done to promote economic growth outside the big cities, in the small towns and villages, which still contain 80 to 90% of the total population?
The primary need is workplaces, literally millions of workplaces.
Where are the rich getting richer and the poor poorer?
A. in nearly all developing counties B. In a majority of countries in the world C. In developing countries with modem sectors D. In countries with nonmodem sectors
