27. people have become better educated/more qualified and so want to work in offices rather than in factories
28. many service sector jobs have been created e.g. computer industry
29. there is growing demand from the population for the services provided by the tertiary sector e.g. nursing services, services of doctors and dentists
30. Any other relevant point.
31. [6] Level 2 (4-6 marks) Has discussed to what extent the tertiary sector helps primary producers and has given a reasoned opinion.
32. The primary producer produces raw materials in order to sell them. He wishes to make a profit. He also buys machinery and equipment in order to carry out his work. He is therefore involved in trade which is part of tertiary production.
33. The primary producer may make use of aids to trade in order to sell his goods. He may advertise them and communicate with potential buyers using telephone and email. He may need to warehouse his raw materials before sale especially if they are perishable such as farm produce. He will need to insure against risks such as fire, theft and employer's liability so that he will be compensated if a risk occurs. He will need the services of a bank to save his money, pay bills and raise loans and overdrafts to conduct his business. He will also need transport to move his raw materials to buyers, to move himself to conduct his business and to take his workers to where the raw material may be obtained.
34. The primary producer may also make use of direct services such as the services of an accountant to keep his books and calculate his tax.
35. Overall the tertiary sector is essential to the primary producer. Without the services offered by the tertiary sector raw materials would remain where they were produced and would not be used.
36. Level 1 (1-3 marks) Has commented on the tertiary sector in relation to primary producers with/without an opinion.
37. The primary producer makes use of tertiary services. He sells his raw materials. He is trading. He uses aids to trade. He uses banking and insurance. He transports his raw materials. He communicates with his bank and with buyers. He uses many parts of the tertiary sector.
