- Offer better progression opportunities and higher salaries however often office based
with regulated hours and limited outdoor interactions
Quaternary

- Roles are highly skilled and require high levels of education and expertise
- Negatives are the same as tertiary

C
more economically developed
Pre-Industrial
- majority of population work in primary sector with small percentage in secondary
- due to a lack of infrastructure or investment preventing countries from constructing
factories and establishing a manufacturing industry
Industrial
- Proportion of employees in primary sector begin to decline as imports become cheaper
rather than producing raw materials
- Internal rural-urban migration takes place as families seek better quality of life
Post-Industrial
- Proportion of people working in primary sector decreases significantly
- Secondary jobs decline at a slower rate
- Increase in tertiary and quaternary employment due to demand for entertainment,
holiday and technology due to increases in disposable income

What socio-economic inequalities in employment lead to
- 55% of workers below average weekly wage, reduced quality of life as they have less
disposable income
- Further south east earn the most due to: more employment opportunities, better quality
of education, more financial and investment aid to provide higher paying jobs (London)
- Higher earning individuals have better access to are and higher pension so better quality
of life at older age
- 46% of London have degrees with average weekly wage of £703
- 24% of NE have degrees with weekly wage of £446
Reasons for Inequalities in Places
- People in manual labor earn less than professional managerial positions with lower life
expectancy due to physical strain of their work
- Significant inequality in pay between employment sectors as primary employment earns
least on average with incomes being seasonal
- Positive correlation between level of income and a person's life expectancy
, Index of Multiple Deprivation
- A measure of relative deprivation for small areas
- Based on 37 indicators grouped into 7 domains which reflect different aspects of
deprivation e.g. income, employment, health, education
- Scores ranked from 1st (most deprived) to 32,844th (least deprived)
Poverty Cycle:
- High unemployment, less money to spend on goods and services, less taxes
- Local council invests less in education and infrastructure, more young people leave
school with fewer qualifications
- Higher unemployment…
Reasons and place might change
- Proximity to large cities and economic zones encourage economic development
- Ease of transport allow the migration of people and movement of goods to previously
inaccessible locations
- TNCs relocation to better regions as a result of competition
- Government strategies to restructure economies (filling skill shortages, increasing
student numbers)

downstream
- Containerisation means fewer docks were needed

- Sub-standard low quality housing such as tower blocks built in 50s/60s to replace bomb
damaged housing from WW2
Involvement of globalisation in the regeneration
- FDI from regions such as Qatar from elite immigrants to fund the development
- Jobs created in construction were filled by immigrant workers
