The Geographies of Secondary Economic Activities (Manufacturing, Industry, etc.)
Introduction:
- MDW: transition
o Agriculture (and resource extraction) = manufacturing and industry = services
- Newly Industrializing counties:
o Manufacturing and industrial activity is increasingly important in Asia and Latin
America
▪ Malaysia, Brazil, Mexico
Secondary Economic Activities:
- “eodary eooi atiities are part of the Goods Produig “etor: iludig
manufacturing, processing, and construction
- Canada:
o ~10% of GDP comes from primary economic activities
▪ agriculture, forestry, and fishing = 2.3%
▪ mining, oil, and gas extraction = 4.5%
▪ utilities (e.g. power generation, etc.) = 2.7%
o ~20% of GDP comes from secondary economic activities
▪ aufaturig ad proessig idustry = .8%
▪ construction = 9.5%
o ~70% of GDP comes from tertiary (services) activities
- Manufacturing and industrial activity (processing) are an important part of the economy
of many countries; the emergence of this form of activity is tied to the industrial
revolution
The Emergence of Industrial Activity:
- The industrial revolution fundamentally changed societies, cultures, economies, etc.
- Industrialization is closely aligned with:
o Economic development
o Urbanization
o Demographic (population) change
o Cultural and technological change
- Pre-Industrial Production:
o Industrial activity was everywhere: localized and rudimentary
o Skilled craftsmen/artisans
o Every village, town, and city had industrial enterprises
▪ Blacksmiths
▪ Millers (grains)
▪ Weavers (textiles)
▪ Potters
- The Industrial Revolution: 18th and 19th C
