The two pie charts illustrate the proportions of different industry sectors that contributed to the economy of Turkey in the years 2000 and 2016.
Overall, it can be clearly seen that the construction sector contributed the least to the economy, while agriculture was the most significant sector in 2000. However, by the end of the period, healthcare and education became the largest economic segment, and finance, business, and other sectors showed the lowest contribution.
To begin with, the construction sector accounted for 3% in 2000, which experienced a threefold increase in 2016. Economic income from trade, utilities, and transportation was 14%, which witnessed a slight growth of 2% in 2016. Manufacturing and finance, business, and other sectors made up 8% and 5% respectively, but their figures rose to 12% and 8% in 2016.
Further analyzing the charts, agriculture, which comprised almost a quarter of Turkey’s economy in 2000, fell to 14% in 2016. Output from the government and leisure and hospitality sectors were at 12% and 17% respectively, although both decreased to 9% and 14% after 16 years. In contrast, healthcare and education remained constant in both years at 17%.
