_____ refers to the economic activities performed by people
Answers
Answer: All humans perform a variety of activities on any given day. There is work that we do every day and other activities we do for personal fulfilment and joy. So as a general rule, we can say that all the activities we do to earn a living are economic activities. All other activities are non-economic activities.
One way to identify economic activities is that they are driven by rationality and logic. The reason for performing such activities is for our own self-interest. We will gauge what returns we get in exchange for performing such activities. Non-economic activities, on the other hand, are done for emotional reasons or concern for another person. So all religious, charitable, social, patriotic, recreational activities are non-economic activities.
But it is not always easy to determine the nature of an activity. If you enjoy painting as a hobby it is a non-economic activity. However, if you sell your paintings then it becomes an economic activity. So the motive behind doing any activity is a strong indicator of its nature.
