how can industrialization assist in bringing in foreign trade?
Answers
Industrialization – the period of transformation from an agricultural economy to an urban, mass-producing economy – has accompanied every period of sustained per capita gross domestic product (GDP) growth in recorded history. Less than 20% of the world's population live in industrialized nations, yet they account for more than 70% of world output. The transition from agrarian to industrial society is not always smooth, but it is a necessary step to escape the abject poverty found in less-developed countries (LDCs).
Defining Industrialization
The first period of industrialization took place in Great Britain between 1760 and 1860. Historians disagree about the exact nature and causes of this first Industrial Revolution, but it marked the first period of compounding economic growth in world history. Industrialization reached the United States in the early 19th century and eventually spread to most western European nations before the end of the century.
There are two widely accepted dimensions of industrialization: a change in the types of predominant labor activity (farming to manufacturing) and the productive level of economic output. This process includes a general tendency for populations to urbanize and for new industries to develop.
Effects of Industrialization
Economic and historical research has overwhelmingly showed that industrialization is linked to rising educations, longer life spans, growing individual and national income, and improved overall quality of life.
For example, when Britain was industrializing, total national income increased by more than 600% from 1801 to 1901. By 1850, workers in the U.S. and Great Britain earned an average of 11 times than workers in non-industrialized nations.
These effects have proven to be permanent and cumulative. By 2000, per capita income in fully industrialized countries was 52 times greater than in non-industrial countries. Industrialization disrupts and displaces traditional labor, encouraging workers towards more valuable and productive activity that is accompanied by better capital goods.
It helps in increasing in National Income. Industrialization allows countries to make optimal use of their scarce resources. It increases the quantity and quality of goods manufactured in that company, which makes a larger contribution to gross national product (GNP) and helps to improve and propagate foreign trade.
I THINK IT HELPS U BUDDY........... ;-)
