What does this mean?
New Zealand
Industry
How did the Industrial Revolution impact the country?
Prior to the Industrial Revolution impacting the country, New Zealand was extremely dependent on their primary industries and continued to expand them. However, this was limited as it reflected upon the amount of capacity the country had for the expansion of industries, along with how the industries were being conducted. On a global scale, the Industrial Revolution further advanced the distribution and transportation of products worldwide to consumers. As this occurred, the transportation impacted the country because the cheaper transportation over water allowed New Zealand to further expand their industries and be able to generate large sums of money.
What is the impact of the new international division of labor?
New Zealand has been impacted by the new international division of labor by the amount of workers in the labor force. They now outsource to other countries where the wages and cost for labor is cheaper. This allows them with a lot of other industries to generate larger sums of profit. The type of outsourcing can impact the new international division of labor because then there would be less labor available to the citizens or residents of New Zealand and instead this jobs are replaced by workers overseas.
Cyprus
Industry
How did the Industrial Revolution impact the country?
The Industrial Revolution did not impact Cyprus as it did other countries around the world. This may be because it was not as open or influenced by the changes that followed the Industrial Revolution. The industries partially benefited as industries grew but not majorly in comparison to the industries competitors. The industries in the country normally are transnational suggesting that they are from other countries which locate in Cyprus for various reasons regarding expenses with labor or transportation.
What is the impact of the new international division of labor?
The impact of the new international division of labor has influenced the type of transnational corporations that have been located in Cyprus. The workforce of Cyprus can now generally work for these industries creating new locations and or areas for jobs to be carried out. But, this workforce is also getting outsourced as some industries and companies locate in different countries for cheaper labor and transportation costs.
