1. Define the terms primary sector, secondary sector and tertiary sector. Give an example of a job found in each of the sectors. In which sector(s) are most of the workers found in developing countries? In which sector(s) are most of the workers found in developed countries?

Answer : Primary sector : It is the basic sector where raw materials is extracted or the agricultural sector . Example of job : mining , ore extraction , farming etc .

Secondary sector : It is the manufacturing sector , where the raw materials are assimilated to produce the final product for sale . Example of job : carpentry , car manufacturer , mechanics etc .

Tertiary sector : It is the service sector which sells and supports the activities of other two sectors . Example : Bankers , accountants , warehouse employees etc .

In traditional economies, the primary sector usually represents the largest sector of employment and income .The secondary sector is usually largest in "transitional" economies that are changing from traditional to market economies . The tertiary sector is usually strongest in advanced market economies or highly developed countries . So in developing countries most of the workers are in secondary sector and some in primary too . While in developed countries most of the workers are in tertiary sector .
