1. A labor-intensive industry is one that relies heavily on the use of labor to carry out production, and relies less on technology and equipment. It is measured by the large share of wages in production costs compared with depreciation of equipment and research and development expenditures. Labor-intensive industry is a relative category with different standards at different stages of socio-economic development. Generally speaking, at present, labor-intensive industries mainly refer to agriculture, forestry and textile, clothing, toys, leather, furniture and other manufacturing industries.
2, capital-intensive industries refers to the need for more capital investment industries, sectors. Such as metallurgical industry, oil industry, machinery manufacturing and other heavy industries. Characteristics: more technical equipment, large investment, accommodating less labor, slower capital turnover, investment effect is also slow. Compared with the technology-intensive industries, capital-intensive industries, product output and the amount of investment is directly proportional to the amount of labor required by the industry is inversely proportional to the number. Therefore, where the product cost of materialized labor consumption ratio is significant, while the proportion of live labor consumption is small products, generally known as capital-intensive products. The development of capital-intensive industries, need a lot of technical equipment and capital.
3, knowledge-intensive industries. Need to use complex advanced and sophisticated science and technology to work in the production sector and service sector. Its technology-intensive degree, often with the industries, sectors or enterprises of mechanization, automation degree is proportional to the industries, sectors or enterprises with the number of manual operation inversely proportional to the number. Characterized by: equipment, production processes based on advanced science and technology, low resource consumption; scientific and technological personnel accounted for a larger proportion of employees, high labor productivity; product technical performance is complex, rapid replacement. The status of technology-intensive industries reflects the level of national scientific and technological development, and it provides advanced labor means and various new materials for all sectors of the national economy. The development of technology-intensive industries is conducive to giving full play to the role of scientific and technological talents, to the application and promotion of the latest scientific and technological achievements at home and abroad, to the introduction of foreign advanced technology and the production of high-precision and high-tech products, and to the improvement of the economic efficiency of enterprises, and to the promotion of the development of productive forces. With the progress of contemporary science and technology, technology-intensive industries are developing rapidly. In China, the electronic computer industry, aircraft and space industry, atomic energy industry, large-scale and ultra-large-scale integrated circuit industry, precision machine tools, CNC machine tools, pollution prevention facilities such as the manufacture of advanced assembly industry, advanced medical equipment, electronic musical instruments and other advanced industries belong to this industry.
