Content: As a result, a nation that is unable to sufficiently feed itself is going to face greater levels of absolute poverty. 4. Movement of Industry
As industries come and go, so too do the jobs they create. We have now moved towards a post-industrialised society whereby we rely on services rather than manufacturing and production. As a result, we have seen towns and cities that relied on such industries to become economically destroyed. Factories closed and industry shifted towards services and the metropolitan area. Those who were left behind created a life around their skills and expertise in industries such as manufacturing. The new reality is that millions have been left without work as a result. For many, it is incredibly difficult to move to where jobs are more plentiful, particularly in older age. In many cases, we see people living in absolute poverty due to the absence of jobs.
