Four Sectors or Five? Retaining the Member-Benefit Sector

• Smith, David Horton

Abstract

The sectors of society include not only the government, business, and nonprofit sectors but also the personal (expanded household) sector. The nonprofit sector is the fourth (and, if necessary, fifth) sector, not the third sector. Either the membership sector (member-serving nonprofits) is recognized as a significant part of the nonprofit sector more adequately, or it should be seen as a fifth sector.
