Third sector

Examples of Third sector in the following topics:

• Characteristics of the State

  • It is sometimes considered to include the family and the private sphere and then referred to as the third sector of society, distinct from government and business.

• Public Sphere and Civil Society

  • These leagues brought people together outside of work and family obligations, giving them a third space for association.
  • It is sometimes considered to include the family and the private sphere and then referred to as the third sector of society, distinct from government and business.

• Disinvestment and Deindustrialization

  • Second, deindustrialization may be indicated by a shift from manufacturing to the service sector— economic sectors that focus on serving others rather than producing some physical object.
  • This shift towards service sector employment would result a shrinking manufacturing sector.
  • Third, deindustrialization can be marked by a balance of trade deficit, or a situation in which a country imports more manufactured products than it exports.
  • The decline in employment in manufacturing sectors that comes about from this progress can indicate deindustrialization.
  • Another explanation focuses on economic restructuring—institutional and governmental encouragement of the development of a more robust service sector, often at the expense of the manufacturing sector.

• The Structure of Cities

  • The third ring (C) contains housing for the working-class—the zone of independent workers' homes.
  • As these activities flourish and expand outward, they form wedges, becoming city sectors .
  • The irregular pattern model was developed to explain urban structure in the Third World.
  • It attempts to model the lack of planning found in many rapidly built Third World cities.
  • In Hoyt's model, cities grow in wedge-shaped sectors radiating from the center.

• Work and Technology

  • Examples of service sector jobs are jobs in the medical services sectors, teachers, lawyers, and sales representatives.
  • Examples of service sector jobs are jobs in the medical services sectors, teachers, lawyers, and sales representatives.
  • The service sector consists of the "soft" parts of the economy—activities where people offer their knowledge and time to improve productivity, performance, potential, and sustainability.
  • The basic characteristic of this sector is the production of services instead of end products.

• The Changing Face of the Workplace

  • It initially appeared that job loss in the industrial sector might be partially offset by the rapid growth of jobs in the IT sector.
  • However, after the recession of March 2001, the number of jobs in the IT sector dropped sharply and continued to drop until 2003.
  • Even the IT sector is not immune to this problem.

• Aging

  • The elderly can receive care from a variety of different sources, including their families, the state, the private sector, and charitable institutions.
  • In the U.S. specifically, the pension system and the healthcare sector are two important examples of this problem.
  • However, for the most part, a substantial aged population leads to a lot of financial pressure on both the public and private sectors.
  • Another significant source of problems related to an older population resides in the healthcare sector.
  • While the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is supposed to address many issues confronting the healthcare sector today, the rising cost of healthcare remains a national problem, as patients are paying more in order to receive the same care as before.

• Informal Economy

  • The original use of the term ‘informal sector' is attributed to the economic development model put forward by W.
  • It was used to describe a type of employment that was viewed as falling outside of the modern industrial sector.
  • For example, with the adoption of more technologically intensive forms of production, many workers have been forced out of formal sector work and into informal employment.

• Competition

  • Here, it is a comparative measure of the ability and performance of a firm or sub-sector to sell and produce/supply goods and/or services in a given market.
  • Predicting changes in the competitiveness of business sectors is becoming an integral and explicit step in public policymaking.
