    - - Stage 1: The Traditional Society
        
        Most people work in agriculture/ farming, but produce little surplus (cash crops). They are subsistence farmers.
        
        Example: Mali
        
        LEDC
      - Stage 2: Pre-Conditions for Take Off
        
        There is a shift from farming to manufacturing. Trade increases profits, which are invested into new industries and infrastructure. Farming can now produce cash crops.
        
        Example: Sri Lanka
        
        Primary to Secondary Sector
      - Stage 3: Take Off
        
        Growth is rapid. Investment and tech creates new manufacturing industries. Take Off requires investment from overseas trade.
        
        Example: Singapore
        
        NIC/ BRICS, Secondary to Tertiary Sector
      - Stage 4: The Drive to Maturity

        Example: China

      - Stage 5: High Mass Consumption
        
        A period of comfort. People enjoy a wide range of goods and services and have a good quality of life. They can spend money on luxuries.
        
        Example: Australia
        
        MEDC
  - - - The periphery (developing countries) sell low-value raw materials to the core.
      - The core (developed countries) processes them into high-value goods and becomes wealthy.
  - - - Pre Industrial
        
        Example: Burkina Faso
        
        Most people live off the land and work in the primary sector.
      - Pre Industrial to Industrial
        
        Country increases wealth and factories are built, secondary jobs increase.
        
        Industrialisation
      - Industrial
        
        Example: China/ Mexico
        
        Country is manufacturing many of the world's goods as secondary jobs peak.
        
        Primary sector continues to decline as not enough money in this type of work.
      - Industrial to Post Industrial
        
        Deindustrialisation
        
        Many factory workers lose their jobs.
        
        Tertiary jobs increase as services are needed for factory workers.
      - Post Industrial
        
        New jobs in hi tech are created due to a country's wealth, increasing wealth further.
