Industrial Decline
Industrial decline refers to the process where manufacturing industries in a region or country experience a significant reduction in production, employment, and economic activity. This decline can result from various factors, including globalization, where companies move production to countries with cheaper labor; technological advancements that reduce the need for human labor; and shifts in consumer preferences toward services or innovative products. As industries shrink, it can lead to job losses, economic downturns, and challenges for local communities reliant on those industries. Addressing industrial decline often involves economic diversification and investment in new technologies.
