Levels of Economic Activities 11A. Understand the connections between levels of development and economic activities

Guiding Questions Are all jobs in an economy the same? Is there a connection to the types of jobs in a country and that country’s level of development?

THE 4 LEVELS OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY PRIMARY LEVEL- gathering natural resources or raw materials from the Earth (ex: farming, timber, fishing, mining…) Blue Bell- Milking the cow and growing the sugar cane

The 4 LEVELS OF INDUSTRY- ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES SECONDARY LEVEL- changing primary/raw materials into usable products (manufacturing) More developed countries have a well established industrial base. May show a switch from less developed to newly industrialized nation. Blue Bell- Making ice cream at the creamery or manufacturing plant

The 4 LEVELS OF INDUSTRY- ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES TERTIARY LEVEL- provides services to people or to businesses (ex: lawyers, doctors, teachers, firefighters…) Blue Bell- The cashier at Kroger that sells you the ice cream

The 4 LEVELS OF INDUSTRY- ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES QUATERNARY LEVEL--technology, information systems, research, management, administration, government Blue Bell- CEO of Blue Bell or Kroger; a scientist trying to improve the flavor or processing procedures

Think, Pair, and Share: Come up with a product and show how it moves through each sector of the economy. Primary—resources to use and where each is from Secondary—processing it: make it, produce it Tertiary—service/selling Quaternary—research and development, management

Practice! At each step, name the level of economic activity occurring.

How does a country’s level of economic activity affect their level of development? Less Developed Most jobs will be in the primary level Newly Industrialized Transition into the secondary industry, maybe some tertiary More Developed Most jobs in tertiary and quaternary
