Service sector and sustainability development
Services require relatively less natural capital and more human capital than producing agricultural or industrial goods
Higher demand for more educated workers (Investments in education)
Conserving natural capital and building up human capital help global development become more environmentally and socially sustainable
But: Growth in services not be a miracle solution to the problem of sustainability, because agricultural and industrial growth are also necessary to meet the needs of the growing world population

Human Services
Contrary to the agglomeration tendencies in industrial and agricultural production economies of scale play a less important role in providing services.
Many business models in services focus on the individual interaction with customers and their integration in the production process. These human services create more than only value-in-exchange for the customers.
They more and more also take into consideration so called value-in-use which tries to embrace social and subjective values (like creativity expression, sense-making, community building etc.).
This type of value creation is very much context-dependent and a great diversity of social, cultural as well as natural resource can be used here to highlight the qualitative value dimension of human co-existence. Simple consumption will be extended by self-actualizing activities.
