The global employment landscape in crop and animal production, hunting, and related service activities reveals significant variation across countries. In 2023, Poland led with the highest employment share, followed by Italy, South Korea, and Spain. Notably, smaller countries like Estonia and Iceland showed minimal employment in this sector. Year-on-year, Poland experienced the largest decline, while New Zealand showed positive growth. Over the past five years, some countries experience moderate declines, indicating a trend towards modernization or shifts in economic focus.
Future trends to watch include technological advancements influencing employment numbers, potential impacts of climate change on agriculture labor needs, and the role of emerging markets in reshaping global employment distribution in these sectors. Additionally, policy changes related to agriculture sustainability could affect employment, driving both restructuring and diversification of labor forces in developed and developing countries alike.
