English term or phrase: compositional form of change
I stumbled up this and can't really get the meaning of "compositional form of change" in this sentence "growth over the last three centuries exhibit a compositional form of change" ; "Form of change" is used elsewhere in the document and I would translate it into "forme de changement" but I bothers me. (btw it's from the US)
Thanks in advance !

forme/type de changement qui affecte la composition de la société
Explanation:
"Obviously one of the underlying assumptions behind this way of look-
ing at the relationship between years of schooling and GDP growth is
that societies change over time. For the arguments presented here a
further assumption has been made, that the industrial economies that
have had the highest rates of GDP growth over the last two centuries
exhibit a compositional form of change. This is a form of change where
leading sectors, with leading skills (for example recently IT) attract
investment and generate jobs, while declining sectors with failing
markets (for example in the past horseshoes) become not only less
important in the overall share of output but also lose influence over
the expectations and behavior of society."

Explanation:
Il me semble que l'on peut utiliser cette expression dans un sens assez large (socio-économique), et qu'elle conviendrait dans ce contexte
