ABSTRACT
Post-World War II industrialization has witnessed the emergence of urban areas as industrial centers in the developing world. Metropolitan centers are quick to respond to the industrial economy given their comparatively developed infrastructure and access to decision-making agencies. The countryside also responds to industrialization by offering an abundant supply of rural workers as low-cost labor, as well as stereotyped docile workers bound by traditional customs in their parents’ home (Wolf 1992). However, despite some comparative advantages that have attracted industrial economy to the countryside, urban centers remain associated with industrial development.
