Deindustrialisation
Definition: The
decline in the contribution made to GDP by Secondary Production.
This decline is usually attributed to a shift in employment and
production by the tertiary sector.
Additional
Info: Some economists think
that deindustrialisation signals a ‘maturing’ economy.
However, others believe that the process harms export earnings
because tertiary output tends to be consumed domestically.
