Transcript Global Industrial Shifts

Global Industrial Shifts
Have a paper and pencil ready.
When you see a question on the slide, take
a minute to try to answer it.
I may collect your answers at the end of the
period.
• Global= Whole World
• Industrial= Manufacturing + Production
• Shift= Change
What can we guess about the
changes that are happening?
What trends can we see from
the next slide?
What do we mean by
Industrial Sector here?
That’s right. Industries in this case
means factories
What about this next slide?
Look at the different sectors
Describe the trend(s) in the UK for :
Primary industries
Secondary industries
Tertiary industries
Even though the dates are
different for the 2 charts, does
any trend seem to become
apparent?
How would you describe this
trend based on the types of
industries and the countries
we just saw?
What is the Trend of
Transference?
A global shift (change) in
location of large scale (very big)
manufacturing plants.
Also a change in types of
industries located in
different countries
The shift started with large
manufacturing plants moving from:
DC
LDC
MDC (DC)
More developed country
Developed country
LDC
Less Developed Country
(developing)
What are some factors
that tell us if a country
is ‘developed’ or not?
GDP
MDC countries often have high
GDP as well as high GDP per
capita (per person)
Name 2 countries that you consider
to be MDC and 2 countries that you
consider LDC.
Find them on the next map
It also has to do with which kinds of
industries their income, or GDP is
coming from
What types of industries: Pri, Sec, etc.
Do you guess MDC’s tend to have more
of?
What industries (prim, sec, tert.) do
the following sectors belong to?
Agriculture
Industry
Services
Look on the next map.
Remember which countries had
high GDP?
See if you can use the map to
tell which industries they use
most
What kinds of industries do the
MDC countries tend to have more
of?
What kind of industries do the LDC
tend to have more of?
To determine if a country is
MDC or LDC, we can also
look at the HDI (Human
Development Index)
The HDI measures things such as:
Health care
Access to clean water
Education
Standard of living
MDC’s also score high on the HDI
(Human Development Index)
So, what do we see about GDP
and HDI so far….
What can we say in general about a country
that has a strong GDP or strong economy.
What often (but not always) seems to
happen to their HDI?
When GDP goes up over
time, HDI tends to go
________?
Ok, got it?
So we know that:
MDC tend to have strong tertiary
based economy
MDC tend to have high GDP
MDC tend to have high HDI
scores
We also know that:
LDC tend to have prim/sec
industry based economy
LDC tend to have lower GDP
LDC tend to have low scores on
the HDI
So how did all this
happen, and what is with
the
trend of transference?
We know that
Some countries experienced the
industrial revolution before others
The countries who ‘missed out’
on industrialization are often the
LDC of today
By the 20th century, because of
industrialization, many nations
(which ones?) experienced higher
outputs (production) and a higher
GDP.
What tends to happen when GDP
goes up over a long period? A
country may become more
____________.
Also in the 20th century, in the
industrialize countries
Tertiary and quaternary
industries begin to rise
Also another indicator to ‘development’
What do you think starts to happen
to countries when they ‘develop’.
What happens to prices, to cost of
labor, to working condition etc?
People started demanding better
pay, more benefits, and shorter
working days
So, if you are a factory owner in
a develop country, and your
costs of production start to go
up because your labor costs are
rising, what do you do?
Well, one solution is to move
(shift) your factories to another
country where the labor is
cheaper
This was the beginning of the
Trend of Transference in the 20th
century
Around when did this trend
start?
During the 60’s we saw
many manufacturing
companies move from DC
to LDC
But moving is a big deal
right?
Do you think it was mostly small
industries
Or Large scale manufacturing
that moved?
What do you think was the
biggest push to move in the
60’s?
*Remember,
by this time, many of the
European and North American
countries already had well
established (long history) of
Secondary industries—what do you
think was happening to working
conditions there?
The governments of LDC
countries saw that when
factories and secondary
industries move to their country,
they get more jobs, and more
money, and more technology!
So what did these governments
do when they saw this?
INCENTIVES!!!!!!!
1970’s
By the 1970’s labor intensive
industries were being replaced
with capital intensive ones.
Factories that produced chemicals
and heavy machines were moving to
LDC’s like South Korea, Singapore,
and Taiwan.
LDC countries (back then) like
Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea
etc. raised their level of
industrialization faster than the
countries around them.
These countries:
Singapore
Taiwan
South Korea
Hong Kong
Experienced the trend of transference
early on and they offered many incentives
for companies to move there.
What do these countries
have in common with
North America, Parts of
Europe, and Japan?
Think about your classmates.
Where are they from?
Explain why your parents all came to
China.
Why aren’t there more Chinese
people going to Singapore to run
businesses?
Finally, by the 1980’s and
beyond, the simple factories
that were being set up in LDC’s
were now becoming more hightech industries. These factories
produce bio-tech,
pharmaceuticals, microchips
etc.
You may think that all of this
was good for the MDC’s
List some of the negative consequences for
MDC’
List some of the positive consequences for
LDC’s
List some of the negative consequences for
LDC’s
Other factors that made the
trend of transference easier:
Large Markets
Space shrinking technology
Transport technology
Communication technology
