KS3 Geography › Global inequalities and development: how does life vary around the world?

Types of Industry

Look at what a country's workers actually do and you can tell a lot about that country. Farming and mining, or factories, or offices and shops, or research labs. Countries move through those stages in a fairly predictable order — and the UK's move away from coal and steel wasn't an accident, it was a phase.
