Consumers and Producers in Goods and Services

This video tutorial, part of the SHIP School Health Initiative Program, introduces the concepts of goods and services, explaining that goods are items made or used to satisfy wants, while services are activities that fulfill needs. It further distinguishes between consumers, who use or buy goods and services, and producers, who create goods or provide services.
