transition to a postindustrial society is characterized by inherently increase of the share of the category of the population that is employed in the service sector.For example, in today's developed countries the distribution of the main areas of work looks like this: the service sector is about 60%, agriculture - about 5% and industry 35%.If a revolution in the last sector and industrialization several hundred years ago suggested the change of manual labor by machine and the ubiquity of technological innovations - from the loom to engineering plants, - the post-industrial society is characterized by the outflow of a large number of people from production and transfer them to the services sector, education and researchknowledge.Once upon a time, in the era of the industrial revolution in Europe, in some countries there were movements of workers, based on the idea that machines replace people and deprive the latter the opportunity to work in the industrial sector.Luddites and saboteurs tried by all means to stop or delay the technical progress.By the way, the word "sabotage" comes from the French name of the shoe (sabot), and with the help of their intention to block work looms.This idea finds its actual implementation in our days, when the development of technology really allows you to keep the lion's share of production of goods and reduce the involvement of the people here to a minimum, which can be seen in the advanced nations of the world: Spain, USA, Sweden, France and so on.However, this does not mean denial of the possibility of earning on the contrary, it facilitates the last life in many ways and allows you to simply move to other areas.We formulate these features in more detail and structure.
