(b) Study Fig. 8, which describes some of the effects of the development of a major industry.
The development of a major industry such as steel, motor vehicle
manufacturing or chemicals affects the surrounding area in many ways.
Large numbers of people are employed in the industry and the money they
earn is spent locally. This increases the demand for services and goods.
Training in the new industry increases the amount of skilled labour in the
area. Taxes are paid by the workers and the industry. The major industry
may use raw materials found or produced locally.
Fig. 8
Using information from Fig. 8 only, describe one effect of the development of a major industry
on the following:
(i)
the government of the area;
...........................................................................................................................................
