Sectors of the Economy
Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Quaternary, and Quinary
A nation’ s economy can be divided into various sectors to define the proportion of the population engaged in the
activity sector. This categorization is seen as a continuum of distance from the natural environment. The continuum
starts with the primary sector, which concerns itself with the utilization of raw materials from the earth such as
agriculture and mining. From there, the distance from the raw materials of the earth increases.
Primary Sector
The primary sector of the economy extracts or harvests products from the earth. The primary sector includes the
production of raw material and basic foods. Activities associated with the primary sector include agriculture (both
subsistence and commercial), mining, forestry, farming, grazing, hunting and gathering, fishing, and quarrying. The
packaging and processing of the raw material associated with this sector is also considered to be part of this sector.
In developed and developing countries, a decreasing proportion of workers are involved in the primary sector. About
3% of the U.S.
labor force is engaged in primary sector activity today, while more than two-thirds of the labor force were primary
sector workers in the mid-nineteenth century.
Secondary Sector
The secondary sector of the economy manufactures finished goods. All of manufacturing, processing, and
construction lies within the secondary sector. Activities associated with the secondary sector include metal working
and smelting, automobile production, textile production, chemical and engineering industries, aerospace
manufacturing, energy utilities, engineering, breweries and bottlers, construction, and shipbuilding.
Tertiary Sector
The tertiary sector of the economy is the service industry. This sector provides services to the general population and
to businesses. Activities associated with this sector include retail and wholesale sales, transportation and distribution,
entertainment (movies, television, radio, music, theater, etc.), restaurants, clerical services, media, tourism,
insurance, banking, healthcare, and law.
In most developed and developing countries, a growing proportion of workers are devoted to the tertiary sector. In the
U.S., more than 80% of the labor force are tertiary workers.
Quaternary Sector
The quaternary sector of the economy consists of intellectual activities.
Activities associated with this sector include government, culture, libraries, scientific research, education, and
information technology.
Quinary Sector
Some consider there to be a branch of the quaternary sector called the quinary sector, which includes the highest
levels of decision making in a society or economy. This sector would include the top executives or officials in such
fields as government, science, universities, nonprofit, healthcare, culture, and the media.
An Australian source relates that the quinary sector in Australia refers to domestic activities such as those performed
by stay-at-home parents or homemakers. These activities are typically not measured by monetary amounts but it is
important to recognize these activities in contribution to the economy.
The World’s Congested Human Migration Routes
Europe is not the only part of the world facing a refugee crisis.
By Eve Conant, PUBLISHED SEPTEMBER 19, 2015
The desperate men, women, and children flooding into Europe from the Middle
East and Africa are not the only people moving along ever-shifting and
dangerous migration routes.
Last year saw the highest levels of global forced displacement on record—59.5
million individuals left their homes in 2014 due to “persecution, conflict,
generalized violence, or human rights violations” according to the United
Nations. That's 8.3 million more people than the year before.
Now Europe’s governments are straining as hundreds of thousands more have
been making the journey this year. A majority are from war-ravaged Syria,
risking treacherous waters and unscrupulous smugglers as they push north for a
better and safer life.
“We are witnessing a paradigm change, an unchecked slide into an era in which
the scale of global forced displacement as well as the response required is now
clearly dwarfing anything seen before,” Antonio Guterres, the UN High
Commissioner, declared in June.
Plenty of other nations are also experiencing exoduses or are grappling with
becoming transit points, smugglers' routes, or desired end points for migrants. The
routes, which are often secretive, are cutting paths through Central America and
Mexico, the Horn of Africa (there are now nearly one million Somali refugees), and
countries like Bangladesh, Myanmar and Malaysia, along with the headline-making
migrations through East Africa and the Mediterranean Sea.
