Explain one reason why the global shift of industry has had negative impacts on some people in the developed world.

To answer this question for four marks, all you need to do is identify one problem caused by the global shift (for one mark) and then expand on the problems this can lead to (for a further three marks). In this case, an example isn't explicitly needed, but can be included for one mark. An example of a four mark answer is below:The global shift of industry has led to an outsourcing of jobs from the developed world, to the developing world, resulting in high levels of unemployment in some areas (one mark for identifying a problem caused). This leads to an overall decrease in local incomes (one mark), decreasing the amount of tax revenue the government receives from this area (one mark). This results in less money being available to invest in local developments, such as improvements in local services of infrastructure, which can lead to further declines in local peoples quality of life (one mark).
