Getting food and raw materials from land and sea .i.e. Farming/mining/fishing
What does a Secondary sector job consist of?
Making or manufacturing goods; work in factors
What does a Tertiary sector job consist of?
Providing services, e.g. Health/education/transport
What does a Quaternary sector job consist of?

What does a Quinary sector job consist of?
Executive decision making
What are Industrialisation and Deindustrialisation examples of?
Social and economical processes
What changes occur due to Industrialisation?
- Pre-Industrial societies become industrial
- Social change happens as a result – people stop being employed in agriculture / mining and start being employed in factories and secondary.
What changes occur due to Deindustrialisation?
- Job losses happen in factories as those jobs are moved, by TNCs, to other places where its more cost-effective
- Job increases eventually happen in the tertiary and quaternary industries
How did the UK and Germany manage the Deindustrialisation in the 1970s/1980s/2000s?
- Policies that meant lots of small and medium sized businesses
- Activities that refocused people to work in knowledge-based industries / research and development, or high-tech design (e.g. Formula 1)
How do TNC’s know they will succeed when they move manufacturing overseas?
- They know they can communicate because of ICT
- They know they can import the goods made, because of global freight and shipping
How does the infrastructure for trade become important?
- There is one global size of container – and all the docks have it
- The dockyards become more important, and the ships become even larger
- E.g. the TripleE
What are the negative impacts of Industrialisation?
- No jobs means people working there are unemployed
- Lack of training means that they can’t get jobs in the new sector (tertiary)
- The shops that supported the workers no longer have any customers
- The shops have no income, so they close
- The area becomes even more derelict, dirty and polluted.
What are the overall outcomes ?
Means we become specialists in
• designing the products that are then made overseas
• Or we design the processes and machinery that is used to make the products
o E.g. Computers / high-tech engineering
• Or we sell the products that were made overseas
• Or we oversee the entire process
• And that means the industry and jobs reflects that – e.g. container shipping ports / Heathrow Airport / science parks
What happens if all of the positives requires us to live in the same places/ near factories ?
- People move out and overseas – working from anywhere
- Vacant land in the city can be freed up for housing, or other sites
- So Greenwich becomes used for O2 and Greenwich Millennium Village
