Industry in LEDCs

• In many LEDCs , there are few industries and they
  dont offer too many jobs.
• We can classify industry in formal and
  informal sectors.
• The formal sector offers jobs with regular
  waged employment (regular salary). Normal wages
  are low. Employees work a lot of hours.
• The formal sector is usually manufacturing.
  Often transnational enterprises are the ones that
  export all products and invest lots of money
• The informal sector is usually work in small
  scale manufacturing (family enterprise located at
  home). Low investment and irregular wages .
  Provide local demand (builders, dress and
  furniture repairs...). Not secure

Industry in LEDCs

• LEDCs cant increase the formal sector due to
  lack of money, investments and infrastructure
  (power supplies and transport networks). As a
  result of that, the informal sector increases a
  lot due to population growth.
• In conclusion, LEDCs are trapped in this cycle
  and its difficult to improve the secondary
  activities and many people try to migrate to a
  rich country

  South East Asia promoted industrialization (cars,
  electronics...) with foreign investments (from
  developed countries). They have become NICs
  (newly industrialised countries).

  Korea and Hong Kong (they were called the four
  tigers). They are small countries and they dont
  have energy sources or raw materials
• In recent years you can add Vietnam, Thailand,
  Malaysia and Indonesia .
