The map shows the secondary sector jobs to job total %
The secondary sector of the economy includes those economic sectors that produce a finished, usable product: production and construction. The importance of the secondary sector for the alpine areas tends to be overlooked and thus underestimated. This is also due to the fact, that very few analytical studies are available on that topic for the whole alpine arc.
Starting from the end of the 19th century, the Alps became largely industrialised. The alpine areas attracted industries because of the availability of energy (hydropower) and manpower. Some industries were also placed in the Alps for political, strategic and military reasons. The increased accessibility by train and road enabled long distance transport of raw materials into the Alps to be transformed and then re-transported out of the Alps. Together with the increasing tourism, the industrialisation of the Alps profoundly changed the economic and social situation of the Alps from a rural society based on agriculture to a modern society.
The secondary sector still plays a major role in different areas of the alpine arc. The share of the secondary sector in the overall number of jobs exceeds 50% following the southern border of the Alpine Convention perimeter in Italy and Slovenia. The high influence from the industrial centres in Torino, Milano, Brescia, Verona as well as the high share of industry in Slovenia can be seen on the map. Also in numerous municipalities situated in inner alpine valleys, the secondary sector represents more than 50% of the total number of jobs. Those Industrial enterprises play a crucial role for the labour market not only for the municipalities where they are located but also for the surrounding municipalities.
