The occupational pattern or structure simply indicates the distribution and absorption of the population into various types of occupations. The occupational distribution of the population reflects on the degree of development and the diversification achieved in an economy. Changes in the occupational pattern are very much associated with economic development. Development activities create various types of occupations in an economy. All these occupations can be broadly classified into primary, secondary and tertiary occupations.
