SECTORS OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY:
To analyse the importance of each sector, we need to look at 2 indicators:
a) EMPLOYMENT
b) GDP (Gross Domestic Product) PIB (Producto Interior Bruto):
• It is defined as the total value of all goods & services produced in a country in a given time period (normally, a year).
• It’s used in economics to measure the size of a territory's economy. It enables us to know how healthy a country is, from an economic point of view.
The importance of each sector in the economy of a country varies a lot depending on it’s degree of development.

The production of oil & natural gas is
unequally distributed the countries that
produce these energies aren’t the
ones that most consume them.
The desire to control these limited natural resources leads to wars & international conflicts,
and explain many political alliances.

Isn’t it strange that… • …USA & Saudi Arabia have good relations, despite their
ideological differences?
• …during the revolts of the “Arab Spring” (revolts in Arabic countries in 2010-2012), the Western countries intervened in Lybia but not in Syria?
• … the USA was at war with Irak?

Labour market (mercado laboral): it is formed by:
What do you think will happen to wages if…?a) Supply > Demandb) Supply = Demandc) Supply < Demand
The labour market is determined by the market forces: supply & demand. The
price of labour (salaries/wages) depends on the amount of work that is
demanded by individuals & offered by companies.
- DEMAND for workfrom individuals
- SUPPLY of jobs frombusinesses
![Page 39: U4. economic activities and geographical spaces](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050614/5a65af3a7f8b9a9f2f8b49e7/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
If the supply (available jobs) is higherthan the demand (available people to work)wages are higher.
If the demand (available people to work) is higher than the supply (available jobs) wages are lower.

NEOLIBERAL IDEOLOGIES
• Father of this ideology: Milton Friedman
• Main ideas:
Defends total economic liberalisation/freedom: the economy should
be regulated only by market forces (law of supply & demand) and the
State intervention in economy should be minimum. The government
should only implement laws to guarantee the free market.
