LESSON 15.1 Overview
INQUIRY QUESTION How do free markets operate, and what are the different ways Australians can earn an income in the changing landscape of contemporary and future work? Have you purchased food today? Have you used electricity, caught public transport or been driven in a car? Do you have a bank account, or have you sent a text to a friend? If you answered yes to just one of these questions, you have been involved in the world of Economics and Business . When we buy goods and services, deposit money in a bank account or obtain a casual (or, in the future, a more permanent) job, we are contributing to the economy. The focus of topics and lessons in Year 7 is on how free markets work, the different categories of business, and the rights and responsibilities of the market . Studying Economics and Business in Year 7 also allows us to understand the different ways Australians may earn an income, the nature of work in contemporary Australia and the future of work.
