Changes in Industry SectorsPrimary

Employment in this sector hascontinually declined over a long period,and we would expect it to continue todo so.

Why do you think that employment inthis sector has declined?

More sophisticated and efficient

technology and machinery. When people have more money they do

not usually spend more on the outputof this sector.

Changes in Industry SectorsSecondary

In a developing economy this sectorwill be growing (industrialised) this isbecause it is usually more expensive toset-up and run a business in this

sector. This industry sector has become reliant

on new technology, and less reliant onworkers, in advances, richer countries.

Where possible manufacturers havemoved their factories from richercountries such as the UK, to countrieswhere wages are lower.

Changes in Industry SectorsTertiary

This is the largest industry sector in the UK

employing approximately 76% of the workforce.(compared to 2% in the primary sector & 22% in the secondary sector)

This sector is more important in richer

countries because they have more disposable

income and can afford the luxuries or additional

services found in this sector.

The decline of manifacturing towards jobs in

the tertiary sector is called de-industrialisation.
