7. Explain the causes and impacts of de-industrialisation in the UK. (6 marks)

After ww2 demand for traditional resources declined massively. This is because they used up
all of their resources meaning that they couldn’t manufacture good and textures. They took
advantage of other countries such as china meaning that worker could be payed less. This
mean that textile manufacturers in the uk such as Mark and Soencer had a decline in
productivity because people were loosing their jobs
