This paper aims to analyze the relation between less development index(LDI) and the industrial structure of the depressed cities and counties of the Korea. LDI correlates positively with the ratio of the primary industrial engager(RPI) to the total industrial engager. However, RPI is the most reciprocal proportion to the ratio of the tertiary industrial engager(RTI) to the total industrial engager. This inverse relation implicates above all the possibility that the regional engager can move from the primary industry to the tertiary industry. As a result of regression analysis, LDI increases more and more if the habitants are, ceteris paribus, more occupied in the primary industry, and decreases inversely if the habitants are in the secondary and the tertiary industry. And LDI grows still larger, if RPI increases relatively as the human and physical capital flows out from the depressed region to the big city. RTI has the largest effects on LDI, in the viewpoint of the absolute value of β-coefficient.
