Changing industrial structure of Indonesia
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can explain how Indonesia's economic sectors have changed since 1990.
Key learning points
- Indonesia has experienced a changing industrial structure.
- In Indonesia, the balance between different sectors of the economy has changed.
- Manufacturing industry can stimulate economic development.
Keywords
Primary sector - the part of an economy that involves using natural resources directly from the land or sea, for example, agriculture, fishing, forestry and mining
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.
Teacher tip
Students could use the Esri World Imagery Wayback app to compare land use and economic activity in Indonesia over the last decade. Land reclamation in Jakarta Bay is a good example.
