Why is the GDP of the tertiary industry much higher than that of the secondary industry?

Because our country is becoming more and more industrialized. Generally speaking, the higher the share of the primary industry in GDP, the lower the degree of industrialization and modernization of the country. In China's case, the proportion of primary industry will continue to decline for a long foreseeable period of time, and then basically stabilize at a relatively low level. The proportion of primary industry decreases, and are some relatively stable industries, so the state regulates less.

The primary industry refers to agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery.

The secondary industry refers to mining, manufacturing, electricity, gas and water production and supply, and construction.

Tertiary industry refers to industries other than primary and secondary industries. The tertiary industry includes: transportation, warehousing and postal services, information transmission, computer services and software, wholesale and retail trade, accommodation and catering, finance, real estate, leasing and business services, scientific research, technical services and geological survey, water conservancy, environment and public **** facilities management, residential services and other services, education, health, social security and social welfare, culture, Sports and Recreation, Public **** Management and Social Organizations, International Organizations.

I. Why the tertiary sector's GDP is more than the sum of the primary and secondary sectors.

The primary and secondary industries both provide material products, and the tertiary industry provides services. With the development of economy and society, the proportion of people consuming material products is getting lower and lower, and the proportion of consuming services is increasing. As a person, the material products he needs have a certain limit, people often say, ten thousand hectares of good land, a liter of daily food, ten thousand buildings, seven feet of sleep at night, but the service consumption (non-material consumption) that people need has an infinite wide world. Therefore, with the development of the economy, the proportion of tertiary industry will certainly be more and more than the primary and secondary industries.

Second, why are you always talking about increasing the proportion of tertiary industry?

1. At present, the development level of the tertiary industry has become the main symbol for measuring the degree of modern economic development.

2, the proportion of tertiary industry in GDP reaches or exceeds 70%, or even exceeds 80% seems to be the "standard" of major developed countries - in 2019, Japan's tertiary industry accounted for more than 70% of GDP, and the United States' tertiary industry accounted for even as high as 81%.

3, the United States four major industries include Wall Street as the core of the financial services industry, Silicon Valley as the core of the high-tech industry, Hollywood as the representative of the entertainment industry, as well as the United States of America's aerospace military industry. These four major industries, in addition to aerospace to the manufacturing industry, the remaining three major industries are service industries. Even the well-known industrial superpower Germany, the tertiary industry accounted for more than 70%.

4, with the development of the economy, people will inevitably pursue "easier, but more profitable" industry. For these developed countries, they have a high per capita income, the traditional manufacturing industry has been unable to satisfy their appetite, and therefore need to be more profitable, labor is more relaxed in a small part of the high-end manufacturing industry, as well as a large number of high value-added services, to gather capital and manpower.
