Question

What is the relation between occupational structure and development?

Accepted Answer

The occupational structure indicates the distribution of the population according to their occupations. It shows the people engaged in different types of work in the economy.

The occupations are classified as primary, secondary, and tertiary, depending on their nature. The percentage of the population engaged in each type of occupation indicate the development of the country.

It is proven that in the developing country more population is engaged in primary occupation. This means that there are not enough opportunities for the population in other forms of occupations. And in the developed countries more population is engaged in secondary or tertiary occupations due to industrialisation and urbanisation.
