Detailed Solution

The sector which dominates in the initial stages of development is the primary sector. Most of the people will be employed in the agricultural sector. For example, after independence, India was an agricultural economy. Most of its population was engaged in agricultural activities. Very less focus was given to the secondary and tertiary sectors. The agricultural activities must be developed enough for the secondary and tertiary sectors to gain more importance. When agricultural production increases, the need for manufacturing activities increases to process the raw materials into final goods. At this point, the country's stage of development also rises. When a country is developed, the tertiary sector gains the most importance.
