demographic features that directly or indirectly affect business environment. It is
composed of both quality and quantity attributes of people that has certain or major
influences on market. The size, distribution, density, growth, population, age, gender
mix, migration are some of the factors that are underneath of this dimension. Similarly,
it includes cultural values, society’s perception. For example every society has unique
identity different among others, which is also responsible for creating distinctions and
variations where in context to Indian society either religiously or personal beliefs
Indians, they reject beef product and most of them prefer vegetarian hence, beef, buff
butchers shops are in low rate.
3. The Agricultural and industrial dimension: Agriculture includes forestry and fishing
whereas industry includes manufacturing and mining. Agriculture is the major
occupation of Nepalese people, farming, growing crops, cattle, fishing and so-on seems
favorable here in Nepal. Industry is related to the production of goods and services it is
the secondary sector of Nepalese economy. This dimension of an economy reflects the
potential to supply good and services to the consumer and raw materials for industry.
4. The Economy- Development Dimension: the pattern of economic development of a
country largely depends upon the system of national planning. The direction and
priority of the development of different sectors are reflected development plans. They
also portray the development policies and strategies along with the allocation of
resources in different sectors of the economy.

the soundness of economy which means that the synergy of these 4 (economic, socio-
economic, agricultural & industry, and economic – development) dimensions
represents the economy of a country.
