There is also a need to observe that Industrial Revolution is also being experienced in the agricultural sector. One of the major characteristics of the 18th and 19th centuries’ industrial revolution was the rapid decline in demand for physical and hard labour. An analysis of the current agricultural practices indicates that there is a significant use of machinery in this sector, which has led to a decline in the demand for physical labour in most economies across the globe. Importantly, as compared to the 20th century, the modern agricultural equipment has integrated intelligent technologies that require minimum human supervision. For instance, a review of the effectiveness in the use of technology in planting seeds reveal that technologies such as drones can be able to accurately plant 100,000 seeds per day, something that cannot be achieved using human labour.
还需要注意的是，农业部门也正在经历工业革命。18世纪和19世纪工业革命的主要特征之一是对体力劳动和体力劳动的需求迅速下降。对当前农业实践的分析表明，该部门大量使用机械，这导致全球大多数经济体对体力劳动的需求下降。重要的是，与20世纪相比，现代农业设备集成了需要最少人力监督的智能技术。例如，对播种技术使用效果的审查表明，无人机等技术每天可以准确播种100000粒种子，这是人力无法实现的。
Importantly, the trends witnessed in the Industrial Revolution in the 18th, 19th and the 20th centuries in the labour forces are being manifested in the modern Industrial Revolution age. To begin with, just as was in the case of the previous Industrial Revolution age, there are concerns in the modern world that the rising replacement of human labour using machines will increase unemployment rate leading to an increase in poverty levels in society. Furthermore, through the use of machines and the elimination of hard labour, there are more women who are taking up jobs that were considered masculine in nature because of their demand for physical labour.
The industrial revolution did not end with mass production and the steam engine but rather is evident today not only in the manufacturing sector but also in the agricultural sector.
重要的是，18、19和20世纪工业革命中劳动力的趋势正在现代工业革命时代得到体现。首先，正如前一次工业革命时代一样，现代世界存在着一种担忧，即越来越多的使用机器的人力替代将增加失业率，从而导致社会贫困水平的上升。此外，通过使用机器和消除体力劳动，越来越多的妇女从事由于需要体力劳动而被认为是男性的工作。
Furthermore, through the use of machines and intelligent technology, the modern industrial revolution has witnessed a significant transformation of the labour force, thus decreasing the demand for physical labour and increasing the number of women in the technical labour force.
工业革命并没有以大规模生产和蒸汽机而结束，而是在今天不仅在制造业部门而且在农业部门都很明显。此外，通过使用机器和智能技术，现代工业革命见证了劳动力的重大转变，从而减少了对体力劳动的需求，增加了技术劳动力中的妇女人数。
