Question

Explain the meanings of secondary sector.

Answer 1

The secondary sector, also called the manufacturing or industrial sector, uses raw materials from the primary sector to produce finished goods through manufacturing. It serves as a link between the primary and tertiary sectors, converting natural products like cotton or sugarcane into items such as cloth or sugar. Activities occur in factories or workshops, and the products made are known as manufactured goods (e.g., automobiles, textiles, food processing, and construction). This sector uses advanced techniques and mainly involves blue-collar workers engaged in organised industrial work.
