I tried google but got an essay on the worlds economy and lots of graphs that looked upside down… i am now very confused and so my conclusion homework is no longer a conclusion, what i’m trying to say is can you get mutiplier effecty things on here and can i have more chocolate for going on your website!?

Hey Olivia,
The rewards you will get from going on this website far outweigh those you get from a bar of chocolate!!
The Mulitiplier Effect:
The creation of one or two industries may encourage more industries to the area.
For example a steel works may provide raw materials for an engineering works which may provide machines for a textiles factory and so on.
Once started, the effect will continue as transport, schools and hospitals are built which provide more local jobs and make the area a more attractive place to live.
The positive multiplier effect:
New Industry -> Jobs provided-> Local business improves for shops -> More money comes to the area -> Services improve -> House prices rise -> More people move in to the area -> New industry etc
The cycle of decline
Industry closes or leaves area -> High unemployment -> People have less money to spend on goods and services -> Less taxes and business rates are paid to local council -> The local council invests less in housing, roads and education -> Young people leave with fewer qualifications -> People have more time, less money and fewer opportunities -> High unemployment etc. Petty crime often increases.
