When people in a country cannot afford land or lose their land, their standard of living falls. which of these would be the most productive action for a government to implement in order to alleviate this problem? a) demand better wages for sharecroppers b) promote employment in nonagricultural sectors c) promote more migrant workers to in the fields d) encourage them to relocate to industrialized places

The correct response for the MOST productive action is A: Demand better wages for sharecroppers.

Explanation:

While some of the other options like promoting employment in non agricultural sectors and encouraging farmers to relocate to industrial places can help increase productive action if the agricultural class loses their land, it is demanding better wages for sharecroppers that will help people to be able to afford to purchase or to keep their land more directly and can help the small farmers most directly.  For example, in the United States after the civil war, the sharecropping system was instituted in Southern states and promoted cotton because it generated cash for all: the croppers, landowners, the merchants buying cotton and the tax collector. There were also a number of poor white farmers who also needed money and took up cotton sharecropping.
