	Deindustrialization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Deindustrialization is the process by which the manufacturing-based economy of a country or region declines.
		Deindustrialization is often marked by an increase in structural unemployment and rise of crime.
		One index of the process of deindustrialization is the amount of blast furnaces for iron manufacturing.

	Economic Issues 10 -- Deindustrialization -- Its Causes and Implications
		An important implication of this analysis is that deindustrialization is not necessarily a symptom of the failure of a country’s manufacturing sector or, for that matter, of the economy as a whole.
		Deindustrialization is also likely to have important implications for industrial relations in the developed world, and particularly for the role played by trade unions.
		Deindustrialization is not a negative phenomenon, but a natural consequence of further growth in advanced economies.

		In addition, results show that deindustrialization across this period is largely explained by a model that combines classic generalizations of the process of economic development with an attention to a range of more immediate factors identified by contemporary students of deindustrialization.
		Here deindustrialization is the result of a pathological phenomenon, a structural disequilibrium in the economy, which prevents a nation from reaching its growth potential or a full employment of its resources.

	Deindustrialization and the shift to services - employment in industrial and service sectors Monthly Labor Review - ...
		Much discussion and concern recently has been focused on the deindustrialization of the United States and the need for a national industrial policy.1 The well-reported growth in employment in the service sector and the relative decline in employment in manufacturing industries implies to some a decrease in our industrial capacity.
		The deindustrialization argument points to a lack of investment in basic production, plant closings and layoffs, and the large negative merchandise trade balance as evidence that the United States is losing its manufacturing base.
		While little evidence of deindustrialization is present at the macro or aggregate level, an additional finding is that for about 20 manufacturing industries, including steel, leather, and tires, the past 15 years have seen steady declines in both output and employment.

	IRRA Proceedings 2003/Is There a Future For Manufacturing?/The Visible Hand of U.S. Deindustrialization (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Evidence of this U.S. deindustrialization should be raising red flags for U.S. policy makers, given manufacturing's long-recognized contribution to economic growth and prosperity, as well as the problematic manufacturing-driven trade and current account deficits (for more detail, see Hersh 2003).
		In other words, U.S. deindustrialization is not simply a result of natural economic evolution, but also owes to policy makers' remarkable indifference to the manufacturing economy.
		U.S. deindustrialization can be traced to policy choices that neglect the well-established contribution of manufacturing industries to continued high and growing U.S. economic prosperity.

	Working Paper No. 10
		The nature of the severe impact of "deindustrialization" on the Latino workers in the Midwest is shown by employment statistics from Chicago, Detroit and the state of Michigan.
		Another important consequence of the "deindustrialization" of the labor force and the shift of employment toward the service sector is the change from high-paying jobs to low-paying jobs.
		There is no question that the "deindustrialization" of the U.S. economy, especially in the Midwest, has displaced a significant number of Latino workers due to their overrepresentation in the manufacturing sector, evidenced by the high Latino unemployment and reemployment in the service sector.

		The traditional argument for the cause of deindustrialization is competition from low-wage labor in developing countries.
		But according to a theory proposed by Robert Rowthorn of the University of Cambridge and Ramana Ramaswamy of the International Monetary Fund, deindustrialization is a natural consequence of economic progress in all developed economies.
		New York City in the 1950s had the largest concentration of manufacturing jobs in the country, but the natural forces of deindustrialization were reinforced by the city's post-World War II policy of favoring "clean" businesses such as banks and brokerage houses.

	IALHI News Service: Consequences of Deindustrialization
		Deindustrialization is due to various causes, principal among which is loss of competitiveness (as a result of sources being exhausted, inferior product quality, a generally high level of costs, or adverse government policy); it can also be the result of technological advances, however, or management decisions to relocate production facilities, for whatever reason.
		Deindustrialization has been studied for twenty years now, particularly by economists and economic historians.
		In the case of deindustrialization processes in the third world the emphasis has been on the influences of colonialism, imperialism and multinationals.

		Another reason for deindustrialization was the huge growth in the profitable petroleum sector.
		Thus, Norway saw deindustrialization at a more rapid pace than most of her largest trading partners.
		Due to the petroleum sector, however, Norway experienced high growth rates in all the three last decades of the twentieth century, bringing Norway to the top of the world GDP per capita list at the dawn of the new millennium.

		While some deindustrialization is inevitable, we shall see that its rapidity is a threat to the viability of the New Zealand economy.
		The evidence of the table is that most OECD countries experienced deindustrialization (Korea is the marked exception), but on the contribution to GDP measure New Zealand was deindustrializing faster.
		But without manufacturing, a deindustrialized New Zealand would be a severely depopulated ones, isolated from the vibrancy of international metropolitan life.

	The T. Rex Essay - Writings on History: Industrialization, Deindustrialization and Urban America
		This process has been referred to as the deindustrialization of the American economy, which has become a post-industrial economy, wherein service workers now outnumber manufacturing and production workers by more than a 2-1 ratio.
		Deindustrialization has been associated with "plant closings, community abandonment and the dismantling of basic industry." The cities that have seen the largest effects of deindustrialization have also seen the steepest declines in population as the workers move elsewhere in search of jobs.
		These cities are not without their own problems, though, as few of them were built with the expectation of the type of population growth they have experienced in recent years.

		The concept of deindustrialization entered the popular and scholarly lexicon in 1982 with the publication of The Deindustrialization of America, by Barry Bluestone and Bennett Harrison.
		Taken together, these original essays argue that deindustrialization is not a story of a single emblematic place, such as Flint or Youngstown, or a specific time period, such as the 1980s.
		Rather, deindustrialization is a complex process that is uneven in its causes, timing, and consequences.

		However, the country could not sustain its premier position as `manufacturer to the world' and between 1979 and 1983 employment in the highly unionized durable goods sector declined by slightly over two million jobs (16 percent).
		The roots of the deindustrialization process and the weakening of organized labor are seen in events in Springfield, Massachusetts starting in the 1950s, as Springfield and the Connecticut River Valley suffered numerous plant closing that culminated with the dramatic shutdown in 1986 of the American Bosch plant.
		The story matters for the permanent closure of the plant in 1986 marked the watershed for large-firm metalworking and metalworking unions in the Connecticut River Valley.

		This was called deindustrialization, and it was said to be a cause of American economic decline that ultimately would affect everyone.
		But a new study from the International Monetary Fund strongly refutes this notion, arguing that growth in service employment is actually a sign of economic strength, not weakness.
		They conclude that deindustrialization is "not necessarily a symptom of the failure of a country's manufacturing sector....On the contrary, deindustrialization is simply the natural outcome of the process of successful economic development, and is in general associated with rising living standards."

	Growth, Trade, and Deindustrialization
		This paper shows that deindustrialization is explained primarily by developments that are internal to the advanced economies.
		These include the combined effects on manufacturing employment of a relatively faster growth of productivity in manufacturing, the associated relative price changes, and shifts in the structure of demand between manufactures and services.
		Moreover, the contribution of north-south trade to deindustrialization has been mainly through its effects in stimulating labor productivity in northern manufacturing; it has had little enduring effect on the total volume of manufacturing output in the advanced economies.
