Explanation:
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the market value of the final goods and services produced during a year within the domestic territory of a country. While calculating GDP, final goods and services are counted to avoid the problem of double counting.
For e.g. a farmer sold wheat to a flour mill for ₹10 per kg. The mill grinds the wheat and sells the flour to a biscuit company for ₹12 per kg. The biscuit company uses the flour, sugar and butter to make 5 biscuit packets. It sells the biscuit to the consumer at ₹15 per biscuit packet. Here biscuits are the final goods that are purchased by the consumer. Wheat and wheat flour are the intermediate goods used in the production of final good. The value of ₹15 already includes the value of flour ₹12. Hence, only the value of final goods and services are included in GDP.

The organised sector preferred by the employees because of following reason :
(i) It will provide job security for all employees and even a certain amount of money is kept apart from the salary every year to pay the lump-sum amount to the employees after retirement.

Explanation:
It has been observed from the histories of many developed countries, that at their initial stages of development, the primary sector was the most important sector of economic activity in terms of production as well as employment. As the methods of farming improved and the agriculture sector began to prosper, it started producing much more food than before which is called surplus. This helped many people to think of and take up activities other than agriculture. Hence, an increasing number of craft-persons and traders began to emerge. Trading activities increased by leaps and bounds. These other activities were manufacturing and service. So for a long time, due to the prominence of the primary sector in production, it used to be the main sector of employment. But as the activities in the secondary sector started expanding, new production units were set up in this sector. Hence, the people who had earlier worked in the primary sector now started to work in factories in large numbers. Secondary sector gradually started becoming the most important sector in terms of total production and employment. Hence, over time, a shift had taken place, i.e., the importance of the sectors had changed their places. Thereafter, a further shift from secondary to tertiary sector began to take place in developed countries. The service sector includes the services. Most of the people are now employed in the service sector. Though this is the general pattern observed in developed countries, yet developing countries like India have also followed the similar pattern.
