Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
European employers have historically found it difficult to recruit workers in Africa. This is because Africa was abundant in land and had a relatively small population. Land and livestock have supported Africa's livelihoods for centuries, and people rarely worked for wages.
How to hire and retain workers:
High Taxes: The colonial government began to impose high taxes, which could only be paid by wage labour in plantations and mines.
New Inheritance Law: The inheritance law has been changed to allow farmers to be expelled from the land: only one family is allowed to inherit the land, and others are pushed into the labour market.
Restrictions on movement: Miners were also trapped in the camp and could not move freely.
