10. Economic landscape in Belize

Belize is a tiny nation that has historically relied on basic industries such as agriculture and mining. However, as a result of globalization and rising foreign investment, labor is shifting into service-led secondary and tertiary industries. Because the nation has a free-market economy, it concentrates on exporting items made in the country. Belizean workers were heavily reliant on the service industry for a living in 2020. The global shutdown has harmed Belize's tourist industry, which is the country's main source of foreign money.

Employee participation is also increasing in secondary areas such as engineering services, machine development, power, and water supply.
