Contribution to Manufacturing Value Added in Percent
The number displayed for each bar is that sector's contribution to total final energy use in Swedish
manufacturing, in percent.
they are too energy-intensive for today's
energy prices. But the employment implications
of alternative technologies and strategies for industrialization
must be taken into account.
Gainful employment provides the purchasing
power that enables people to satisfy some of
their basic needs. In rural areas, the lack of
such employment not only keeps per capita in-
