Industries in LEDC’s Learning Objectives: To identify the differences between the employment structures of MEDC’s and LEDC’s To explain the link between GDP and Primary sector employment
Industries in LEDC’s • TITLE: Is there a link between GDP & Primary Sector Employment • Write a hypothesis: As GDP increases ………. • Using the data construct a scatter graph to see if there is a relationship between GDP & Primary sector employment.
Industries in LEDC’s • Important things a scatter graph must have: • been drawn with a ruler • labeled axis • Title • Key
Scatter graph to show the relationship between employment in agriculture against country’s wealth in South America.
Describing graphs: • Purpose of the graph • Overall trend • Anomalies/ • Freaks • 4.Specific Data
The LEDC’s share of world manufacturing has increased, even though the concentration in MEDC’s, where only one quarter of the world’s people live, remains overwhelming. The LEDC’s share is predicted to increase further. Some of this industrial growth has been associated with investment by transnational corporations.
Which statement applies to which graph? 1. Farming is very important because people often grow the food they eat. 2. Machinery has taken over jobs in the primary sector. Also, primary resources have become exhausted (e.g. coal). The number of people employed in the secondary sector is falling. This is because fewer people are needed to work in factories as robots are taking over jobs. 3. While it is developing its economic base there are still a large number of people employed in primary industries such as farming. Tourism provides a growing number of tertiary jobs.
