I suspect the former.
His point had to do with output and productivity, so he probably didn't consider those details.
He used the terms "farmers" and "worked in agriculture" in parallel, indicating a focus different from the point you mention.
However, your reference of Phillips's work does provide an interesting context, especially considering the near-slavery which exists in parts of China's economy, and the transistion they are facing.
