How do we measure to what extent a country is industrialised? There is no economic indicator called "degree of industrialisation". A rough substitute would be the percentage of the population that is employed in the
industry and services sectors (as against agriculture). Taking this as a measure, here are some countries and their "degree of industrialisation":
Country | Degree of Industrialisation |
India | 48% |
China | 60% |
America | 99% |
Britain | 98% |
Germany | 97% |
France | 96% |
Japan | 95% |
Russia | 90% |
Brazil | 80% |
Indonesia | 57% |
