According to the research results of the British economist Clark and the American economist Kuznets, the evolution of the industrial structure can be roughly divided into three phases: the first stage, the stage where the production activities are dominated by a single agriculture, and the agricultural labor force takes the absolute dominance in the total number of employment; The second stage is the stage of industrialization, which is marked by the large-scale development of the secondary industry, the proportion of income realized by the industry in the whole national economy is rising, and the labor force is gradually transferred from the primary industry to the secondary and tertiary industries; the third stage is the stage of post-industrialization, which is marked by the gradual transformation of the position of industry, especially manufacturing industry, in the national economy from a rapid rise to a decline, and the tertiary industry goes through the process of rising, hovering, and then rising again. The third stage is the post-industrialization stage, which is marked by the gradual decline of the status of industry, especially manufacturing, in the national economy from a rapid rise, while the tertiary industry goes through a process of rising, hovering, and then rising again.

Contrasting with the law of industrialization stage, the evolution of service industry structure is also regular. Generally speaking, in the primary product production stage, the development of accommodation, catering and other personal and family services and other traditional living services; in industrialized society, the rapid development of productive services related to commodity production, which in the early stage of industrialization, the development of commerce, transportation and communications industry, in the mid-industrialization, the development of financial, insurance and distribution services, and in the late stage of industrialization, the service industry The internal structural adjustment was accelerated, new types of business began to appear, intermediary services such as advertising, consulting, real estate, tourism, entertainment and other services developed faster, and production and living services developed interactively. In the post-industrialized society, finance, insurance, business services, etc. are further developed, and modern knowledge-based services such as scientific research, information, education, etc. rise to become the mainstream industry, and they have a broad development prospect and huge potential.
