reaching a peak of 62%. However, it then declined steadily,
dropping to just 12% by 2000. In contrast, the service sector
had a relatively small share of the economy in 1960. Initially,
its growth was gradual, but between 1980 and 1990, its
contribution surged from 28% to 43%. By 2000, it had
reached the same level as agriculture's peak in 1960,
marking a significant shift in the overall trend.
