The primary driver of modernization theory is industrialization. According to modernization theory, the process of social change whereby developing societies acquire characteristics of Western industrial societies is largely driven by the development of industrial technologies and economic practices. The theory posits that as societies develop industrially, they will move away from an agricultural economy and towards a more industrial and urban economy with higher levels of education, technological advancement, and wealth.
