activities that do not involve the production of material goods. So companies
in the tertiary sector are dedicated to the satisfaction of different needs of the
people.
It is often said that the tertiary sector is dedicated to the organization and distribution of what the other
two sectors produce.
Concept
1. The tertiary sector

6. • It is one of the main indicators of how developed the economy of a country
is.
• This sector is the most important in the countries of the first world, occupying more than
60% of the population and contributes more than 70% of the GDP.
• It has been growing steadily since the second half of the twentieth century, as the
standard of living improved and technology reduced the labor necessary for other sectors.
That is why we talk about tertiarization of the economy.
• It is the sector that best characterises the welfare state. Examples:
• Its transport activities not only allow cities to grow but also attract tourism and improve
communications within the country.
• ICTs, for example, have given a radical change to the world of work since they have
allowed the creation of new jobs and new professions, has led to the existence of work
from home…
