In 1996, almost a billion people were either unemployed or underemployed worldwide; the unemployment was highest in the agromineral and semi-industrial countries, but many highly industrialised economies had unemployment rates over 10 percent.

Metropolitan investments in agromineral extraction (coal, rubber, tea, sugar cane, tin, phosphates, iron ore, and so forth) assumed the form of large-scale estates where considerable pools of low-cost wage-labour were a necessary component of expanded output.
