Changes in Industry Sectors Primary –Employment in this sector has continually declined over a long period, and we would expect it to continue to do so. Why do you think that employment in this sector has declined? –More sophisticated and efficient technology and machinery. –When people have more money they do not usually spend more on the output of this sector.
10
Exercise 2 Imagine that you were offered a job earning £500,000 a year. Name 3 things you would spend your money on. Discuss this in this your groups. Wish list:1. Expensive Car 2. Mansion in Ireland 3. Luxury holiday 5*All Inclusive in the Maldives
11
Changes in Industry Sectors Secondary –In a developing economy this sector will be growing (industrialised) – this is because it is usually more expensive to set-up and run a business in this sector. –This industry sector has become reliant on new technology, and less reliant on workers, in advances, richer countries. –Where possible manufacturers have moved their factories from richer countries such as the UK, to countries where wages are lower.
12

(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.
