Secondary sector - the part of an economy that involves manufacturing goods from raw materials or other manufactured goods, for example factory work, construction and food processing
Tertiary sector - the part of an economy that provides services to people and businesses rather than goods, for example teachers, doctors, shop workers and delivery drivers
Common misconception
As Indonesia is not an HIC, most people there will still work in agriculture.
Agriculture was once Indonesia’s economic backbone, but its share of the workforce has declined since the 1990s. Today, industry and services dominate Indonesia's economy, with manufacturing, finance, tourism and digital sectors growing.
