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% |
