‘Employment structure is characterized by self-employment in the primary sector.’ Explain.

Primary activities are directly dependent on the environment as these refer to the utilization of earth’s resources such as land, water, vegetation, building materials, and minerals.

These jobs are mainly self-employed, as the workers work upon themselves and are not accountable to anyone or there is none to order them.
