Describe the three different types of services.

Answer

The different type of services are:


(a) Consumer Services: The main purpose of consumer services is to provide services to individual consumers who can afford to pay for them. The gardener, the launderer and the barber do primarily physical labour. Teachers, lawyers, physicians, musicians and others perform mental labour.

(b) Professional Services: Professional services are primarily health care, engineering, law and management. The location of recreational and entertainment services depends on market. Multiplexes and restaurants might find location within or near the CBD, whereas a golf course would choose a site where land costs are lower than in the CBD.

(c) Personal Services: Personal services are for the well-being and improvement of individual consumers. The workers are primarily rural migrants, due to rural unemployment, who are poorly paid if they are unskilled. They are employed in domestic services as housekeepers, cooks and gardeners.
