Industrialization moves from developed countries to developing countries.

Nodes of businesses grow more tertial in developed countries.


Distance Decay decreases as more businesses move to different countries for cheaper labor.
Understanding industrialization in developing countries allows people to see the power shift,
Secondary sector jobs are becoming more and more prevalent in developing, raising GDPs.
Tertiary jobs in developed countries cause lower wages, but overall still raise the GDPs.
Rostow shows this transition in his model from stage 1(Traditional Society)-5(High Mass Consumption)
Inner cities may develop quicker if the main businesses center around it leading to
Agglomeration(a cluster of similar industries) similar to Silicon Valley.
Lower waged jobs that require intensive labor are reducing in LDCS in mostly South and East Asia

Although many MDCs go into tertiary sectors, they can also be broken down into specific sectors.
Networking services grow in LDCs due to cheap labor and ability to speak English,
Doing so leaves more opportunities for countries to focus on different businesses.

Electronic services grow in MCDs, such as


Computerization and engine designing.
On the dark side,many lose jobs in developed countries due to loss of secondary jobs, which affect small
communities who depend on factory jobs.
Newer businesses can not move into those areas due to lack of income and customers who can pay for
such services, causing a multiplier effect.
Offshoring(moving jobs to other countries for cheaper labor/costs) becomes more and more common, for
example,
Maquiladoras, which are common on the coast of the U.S and Mexico.
Income is higher for the workers than other jobs, and it gives the businesses a
Comparative advantage as they can manufacture products at a cheaper cost compared to other
businesses.

Different constructions can be unattainable in LDCs.


Economic opportunities push people towards inner cities,
Various businesses hire workers with little skill level in order to gain more manual labor.
Essential secondary jobs in midwest areas continue to diminish.
Losing such jobs leave families with little income, multiplier effects of business loss, and eventually food
deserts.
Over time countries start to depend on one another for resources they can offer/need.
Periphery countries benefit by foreign developed country investment,
Middle/semi periphery countries can get ahead of periphery and move from secondary to tertiary jobs,
Elite/core countries can gain resources from LDC, while sometimes controlling them/
Neolocalism( the process of getting control over a country economically).
Technological advances appear more as a country advances( tools and plows, manufacturing sites,
robots and mechanics,etc.)
