Q6 Analyse the disadvantages of deindustrialization. [6]

[KN]A rise in unemployment
[AN]many factories and manufacturing firms close down due to deindustrialization, resulting in a fall in employment
[AN+]Disparitiess arise along with inequalities b/w incomes

[KN]a rise in costs
[AN]as Capital-intensive methods are now out of trend(replaced by labor-intensive methods) and unemployment is on the rise, firms hire more, increasing employment but at the cost od high wages now
[AN+]therefore prices rise, leading to inflation [most probably wage-price spiral (cost-push inflation)]

{AN} Due to the capital shifting from capital-intensive towards labour-intensive methods there is a high chance that the product that is made by the labour has some defect in them
[AN+] Thus this leads to a lower quality good being produced and dissatisfaction among the customer further leading to a loss of customer loyalty as well

{KN} High cost
{AN} Because of the labour-intensive method being used more and more people would be likely to get employed by the firm and so now the firm has to hire more people and so increasing their labour cost
{AN+} Thus due to higher production costs, the business cannot maintain the quality leading to a loss of brand image.
Both AN needs to be justified since deindustrialization isn't about shifting focus from the capital intensive method to labour intensive methods.

[AN+] this leads to worse standards of living

[KN] it would cause a lack of manufactured goods being produced
[AN] this doesnt meet customer demands and higher chances of problems
[AN+] which ultimately decreases customer loyalty and sales of the company
2nd AN, needs to focus on increased import costs for the country /customers.

[AN] machines work continuously in the same way as they are instructed but humans sometimes get tired and so throw tantrums which may cause mistakes leading to loss of customer satisfaction.
[AN+] thus this will reduce productive efficiency of the business which can result in deteriorating the quality of output hence questioning the business growth.

[KN] High cost for the business
[AN] Firstly hiring labor will bring factors like their salaries and additional wages [ depending on their performance] can result in an increase in costs specially if they do not perform up to the mark but demand higher wages, bonuses etc.
[AN+] Thus, businesses may increase the prices which can lead to cost push inflation in the economy and may put off a large customer base.
Please upgrade the answers with business terminologies, we are not the economists!!!
