For an example of a high income country that you have studied that has undergone employment structure change in recent decades: A. outline the changes and the reasons B. describe the effects in the broadest sense The UK use to be a mostly primary employment sector in the late eighteenth century. The most common area of specialised farming was cattle (most of the cattle farming was done in England). This was because Britain’s climate was almost perfect for the cattle to graze.  It has land that is not too steep, it is warm, moist (But not too wet) and it is the perfect climate for grass to grow. However Scotland is far too steep in most places for cattle so instead people used to have hill sheep farms instead. Hill sheep can graze on steep slopes where cows cannot and they can graze on rough rocky ground that cows would not be able to graze from. The rest of Scotland was mixed farming (cows and sheep). The rest of England and Northern Ireland had Arable farms. Crops need flat land with a warm and relatively dry climate also the crops need rich deep soil for their roots. And because Scotland is quite a hilly environment crops would not be able to grow there. In the North and West of the UK, there were cool summers, mild winters, there was heavy rainfall, strong winds, snow in winter, steep slopes, poor and thin soil. This is one of the reasons why

Scotland and the North West of England had no arable farms but there were a lot of livestock farms. And in the South East of England there were: warm, sunny summers, less rainfall (and most of the rain falls over the growing season), flat land and rich deep soil. That was why the South East of England is mostly arable farms, where there was rich soil so crops would grow well there. Then in the early 1900’s there was a rapid growth in industry with the introduction of steam power. And that meant that coal was needed. And as coal ...
