This is a question about national economic statistics
Ans:
Tertiary industry is a general term for all kinds of industries that serve the social production and people's life by virtue of certain material and technical equipment. Traditionally, the tertiary industry is divided into four levels.
Discussion on the Extension of Tertiary Industry
According to the traditional categorization method, the whole tertiary industry is generally divided into four levels according to the different service objects. Or rather, the extension of tertiary industry includes the following four levels.
The first level is the industry serving for circulation, such as transportation, post and telecommunications, logistics and warehousing, commercial catering and so on.
The second level is the industry serving for production and life, such as finance and insurance, information consulting, geological survey, maintenance and leasing, hairdressing and photo-taking, real estate and property services.
The third level is to improve the level of science and culture and the quality of the residents of the industry, such as education and research, tourism and entertainment, radio and television, sports and health care, medical care, social welfare and so on.
The fourth level is for the social public **** need to serve the industry, such as state organs, party organs, military police, social organizations.
The author thinks that the above classification is not very reasonable, and it is necessary to make some necessary adjustments according to the new situation.
First of all, the fourth level involves national civil servants or some volunteers, so these industries are not suitable for development as an industry. Otherwise, it is easy to cause the consequences of rent-seeking rights and poor quality prices.
Secondly, the classification method should be improved. In the internal structure of agriculture and industry, they are all categorized according to the object of operation and the nature of the products of each industry, rather than according to the customers who buy the products. For example, agriculture can be categorized into planting, farming, hunting, side industries, etc., whose objects of operation and products are plants, animals and handicrafts, etc., respectively. Industry can be categorized into textiles, pharmaceuticals, steel, oil, buildings, etc., and the objects and products of their operations are textiles, pharmaceuticals, steel, oil, buildings, etc., respectively.
Therefore, the method of categorizing the service sector on the basis of the object of service is of little significance, but it should be categorized on the basis of the nature of the object of operation and the product in the same way as agriculture and industry. In today's world, the objects and products of the service industry can be divided into the following four categories: people flow, logistics, capital flow, and information flow. Accordingly, the tertiary industry can be divided into the following four new levels.
The first level: people flow service industry. Including transportation, tourism, commercial catering, hairdressing and photography, medical and health care, sports and health care, real estate and property services.
The second level: logistics services. Including transportation, postal services, logistics and warehousing, wholesale and retail.
Third level: capital flow service industry. Including finance, insurance, banking, securities, leasing, social welfare and so on.
Fourth level: information flow services. Including education, scientific research, telecommunications, advertising, broadcasting, film and television, information consulting, geological survey.
It should be noted that in the past, we put the traffic industry and transportation industry together, including both passenger transport and freight transport. The author thought it was necessary to separate them, the transportation industry only manages people, the transportation industry only manages commodity goods. Just as the postal service mainly deals with logistics products, telecommunications mainly deals with information products, in practice has been divided into two sectors.
