արտադրություն
Making things like cars or frozen food has shrunk in importance in most developed countries during the past half century as services have grown. In the United States and the UK, the proportion of workers in manufacturing has shrunk since 1900 from around 40% to barely 20%. More than two-thirds of output in OECD countries, and up to four-fifths of employment, is now in the services sector. At the same time, manufacturing has grown in importance in developing countries. Many people think that manufacturing somehow matters more than any other economic activity and is in some way superior to surfing the Internet or cutting somebody’s hair. This is prob¬ably nothing more than nostalgia for times past when making things in factories was what real men did, just as 150 years ago growing things in fields was what real men did. Mostly, the shift from manufacturing to services (as with the earlier shift from agriculture to manufacturing) reflects progress into jobs that create more utility, this time for real women as well as real men, which may explain why it is happening first in richer countries.
