Occupational structure of population.
✓
Answer
In all countries working population is engaged in primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary activities for their livelihood.
The percentage of people engaged in these activities is called occupational structure.
In developing counties percentage of people engaged in primary occupations is high compared to people engaged in secondary, tertiary or quaternary activities.
In developed countries, percentage of people engaged in secondary, tertiary and quaternary activities is more compared to people engaged in primary activities.
Trade and infrastructure are advanced. So, more people are required in secondary, tertiary and quaternary activities.
More people engaged in secondary, tertiary and quaternary activities more the country has been developed.
Thus, occupation structure of the country is an indicator of the level of economic development of the country.
