Basically it has to do with the development of a country from an agrarian society to an industrialized society and the economic process. As an agrarian society, you are able to take labor from agriculture and move them over to an industrial based. This process is accomplished by taking advantage of the cheap labor, in theory industrial jobs are higher paid. Unfortunately, this process cannot go on forever. At some point the country will have exhausted its supply of cheap labor, and then the fun begins. The next generation of workers will become more educated and less docile. As a result, wages will rise, workers will demand more benefits, or possibly form unions. Please read up and feel free to add to the discussion.
