They are **Primary, Secondary and Tertiary industries.** You can remind yourself about what secondary and tertiary industry are here. Primary industry is the extraction of raw materials from the earth. Primary industries include farming, fishing and mining.

Have a go at **this quiz **to test your knowledge on the different types of industry.

Look at the graph below. It shows how **China's GDP** has grown from 1978 to 2002. Remember **GDP stands for Gross Domestic Product**, this is the total amount of money a country earns in a year from all of its industry.The graph shows how the GDP has grown by sector. This means how the three different types of industry have grown.



As China develops, more and more people get jobs in the Secondary and Tertiary sectors. The number of people working in the Primary industries, such as farming, decreases. Secondary: 27.8% Tertiary: 34.1% (2008 est.) ||= Primary: 56% Secondary: 15% Tertiary: 29% (2005) ||
 * =  ||= **China** ||= **Ghana** ||
