Advertisements
Solution
- The working population takes part in various primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary occupations.
- The proportion of the working population engaged in various sectors is a good indicator of the levels of economic development of a nation.
- This is because only a developed economy with industries and infrastructure can accommodate more workers in the secondary, tertiary and quaternary sector.
- Only if the economy is still agrarian, then the proportion of people engaged in primary activities is high.
- In developed countries, people prefer jobs in the manufacturing and service sectors rather than in agriculture.
Hence, in develop countries, the percentage of the population engaged in agriculture is low.
