The writer argues that the key to solving unemployment in developing countries is: Creating millions of workplaces in rural areas and small towns. These workplaces cannot be created through high-tech, high-output methods that employ only a few people. Instead, the writer insists that this goal can only be achieved by using an appropriate technology (often meaning intermediate or labour-intensive technology) that maximises employment opportunities. Therefore, the writer’s main point is not merely to create workplaces, but how to create them through appropriate technology that allows more people to work.
