Reply to comment by xCreamPye69 in eli5 why ancient historical buildings haven’t been kept up? Why are buildings like the Parthenon and the Colosseum in such disrepair? Greece and Rome/Italy have existed the entire time? by PickledSpace56
It is low but not that low (fraction of a fraction etc). The four largest economies in the world
US 1.3%
China 22% (expected since it is still developing compared to others)
Japan 1.2%
Germany 1.2%
Adding UK (5th or 6th) ~1% and India 45%

How do you define 'engaging in agriculture or livestock' - as in the farmers that raise the cattle and plant the crops, or anyone that 'engages' in the agriculture/farming industry? (e.g truck drivers, feed suppliers, crop processors etc)

Maybe a better comparison would be: "what percentage of the median income is used to buy food".
Didn't look it up myself, I would guess this changed a lot over past few hundred years in Europe.
