Difference Between Scarcity and Shortag

Scarcity means limitedness, which is used in the context of natural resources, that can be reproduced but still scarce as at a given point of time, the availability is limited. The shortage, on the other hand, is a market phenomenon, used for products and services which are not available in the required quantity.

We all know that human wants are unlimited, and the means to satisfy human wants are scarce. In microeconomics, we study, how people work jointly to convert scarce resources into useful goods and services with the aim of satisfying the most urgent of our unlimited wants and the allocation of these goods and services among people. Scarcity is the fundamental economic problem, which is not exactly same as the shortage.
