Industrial (Secondary) Economies Nations buy natural resources from Primary Economies and use them to manufacture goods Industrial Revolutions cause countries to move from textile manufacturing to heavy industry to higher tech manufacturing Education usually increases at the same time
7
High Tech/Service/“Idea” (Tertiary) Economies Wealthiest nations come up with ideas for things They then build factories elsewhere to make those things Once manufactured, it is shipped back to the nation that designed it In tertiary, education is directly related to earning potential The smarter you are, the richer you’ll be “Idea” jobs pay well

Developing Countries Poor countries that are starting to improve Still have low income and literacy rates, but numbers are getting better Ex: Brazil and Mexico Underdeveloped Countries Poorest of the poor Few resources, schools, hospitals Impoverished populations living on less than $1 per day Ex: Haiti
