Key points

  • Development has different meanings for different people and cannot be measured only by income.
  • Human development includes health, education, income, equality, and sustainability.
  • Economic sectors are classified as primary, secondary, tertiary, organised, unorganised, public, and private.

Development

Compare countries or states using per capita income plus non-income indicators such as literacy, health, life expectancy, and public facilities.

Sustainability is important because development should not exhaust resources or increase inequality.

Sectors of economy

Revise primary, secondary, and tertiary activities with examples. Also study organised and unorganised sectors through job security, wages, and benefits.

Public sector answers should mention essential services, welfare, infrastructure, and activities that private firms may not provide fairly.

Quick practice

  1. Give three examples each of primary, secondary, and tertiary activities.
  2. Compare organised and unorganised sectors.
  3. Explain why income alone is not enough to measure development.
