1 Unit 2 People and the Planet Section A, Topic 3 Globalisation Lesson 1 Today’s title; Changing employment

2 Lesson objectives To be able to classify jobs into primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary. To understand that proportions employed in those sectors change depending on location and time. To be able to apply the Clark Fisher model to different economies in the world. To be able to evaluate the usefulness of the Clark Fisher model.

3 What types of work are shown here? How can we categorise them?

4 Key idea; what happens to the amount of profit made as you move down the list of jobs? How can employment be classified? There are four types of job. These are primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary jobs. Primary jobs involve getting raw materials from the natural environment e.g. Mining, farming and fishing. Secondary jobs involve making things (manufacturing) e.g. making cars and steel. Tertiary jobs involve providing a service e.g. teaching and nursing. Quaternary jobs involve research and development e.g. IT.

5 Digby p 188 Read the page quickly. What is the key idea about employment in the UK over the past 40 years? Write one or two sentences to summarise.

6 Developed countries have seen many changes due to the impact of a global economy. The shift in manufacturing to the newly industrialising countries has meant huge job losses, closures and a fall into dereliction of many factories. Factories have closed because Things can be made more cheaply elsewhere Increased automation in factories It is not just cities that have suffered but also rural areas because: Farming has become more mechanised Increasing reliance on imported food Decline of the fishing industry Decline of quarrying and mining

7 Map A shows the locations of traditional industries in the UK before 1980. They were located close to sources of power, labour and raw materials such as coal. Map A Map B Map B shows the concentrations of the new industries that have developed in the UK. These industries can be described as footloose industries.

8 Exam question Describe the changing employment structure between 1970 and 2001. (3 marks)

9 Task Stick a copy of the graph showing the percentage of people who worked in primary, secondary and tertiary industries in the UK over the last 200 years into your book. Leave some space around it for annotations. Add the sentences on the next slide in what you think are the correct places on your graph.

10 Add these labels to your graph Most people spend their time subsistence farming. Growth of big cities as people leave the countryside to work in the factories. More people take foreign holidays. After World War II, Britain needs rebuilding. There is an increase in cheap foreign imports. During the Industrial Revolution, more people went to work in factories. The British Empire is large – this creates a large market for British made goods. Many people work long hours in poor conditions. The population becomes wealthier and demands more services.

11 The Clark-Fisher Model In a pre-industrial society, the majority (over two-thirds) work in primary industry with a small proportion in secondary and tertiary work. Manufacturing comes to dominate during the industrial revolution. De-industrialisation brings about the rise of the post-industrial society, dominated by service (tertiary) sector work. The majority of British people are now tertiary workers and this general trend has been called Tertiarisation. So what is the key idea here? See Digby p 189

12 Does every country fit the Clark Fisher model? See Digby p 189. Where would a country like Kenya, with a well developed tourist industry fit? Dyson is a British company but it has relocated its manufacturing to Malaysia because the costs were much lower. Where does this fit on the model? What about a country like Nigeria, which has oil? Where does it fit? Where did France fit on the model in 1970? What about in 2000?

13 Impacts of changing employment Use Digby p196-197. Make a table to show the impacts of deindustrialisation on the UK (a developed country). Your table needs 3 sections; economic, social and environmental. Use Digby p198-199. Do the same for the impacts of employment change in India (a developing country). This is harder as the information is not neatly arranged into the appropriate paragraphs. Go through both tables and colour code the impacts into positive and negative.
