Thesis statement
To explore the positive impact of industrialization in third world countries with
respect to poverty, economic growth, unemployment, labor and time saving techniques.
Context
Industrialization is setting up industries and factories which leads to modernization.
Third world countries or underdeveloped countries which are way far from modernization
faces various complication with respect to business expansion, medical facilities, job
opportunities and other resources. Industrialization in such countries which needs
improvisation helps in providing such facilities to the local community and increases their
way of living and also increases the life expectancy rate of the demographic population.
Industrialization started in between 18th and 19th centuries, when America and Europe
moved towards urbanization. This is marked as the beginning of industrial revolution. Before
industrial movement started, manufacturing of tools and different items was often done at
homes by using hand tools and hand-made elementary machines. It involves large labor force
and are also time consuming. To minimize the manufacturing time, new tools and
technologies was implemented. Invention of steam engine also plays a vital role in
urbanization as it helps in expanding business among the countries. Industrial revolution
posed a positive impact on the living by giving rise to urbanization.

2Industrialization in third world countries
Now-a-days most of the people rely on industries to earn for their living. It deliver
more job opportunities to the general people of the third world countries and also helps in
economic growth of the country.
Main argument
1. Industrialization in third world countries decreases poverty rate by providing
countless job opportunities to the general population.
i. Industrialization have a positive impact in decreasing the
unemployment rate in developing countries by providing jobs to needy
people (Alvarez, Barney & Newman, 2015).
ii. In Latin America and East Asia 34% of the total population rely on
industrialization for their living (Gereffi & Wyman, 2014).
iii. After industrialization in Ghana, rate of unemployment decreases in
recent years (Honorati & Johansson de Silva, 2016).
iv. Counter- Even after industrialization, structure of unemployment does
not change in Gresik because of lack of education among the local
communities (Sutikno & Suliswanto, 2017).
2. Industrialization helps in decreasing the dependency of common people on foreign
resources by large scale production of goods in the country.
i. Industrialization also helps in agricultural growth in many developing
countries by lowering the cost of pesticides and insecticide (Aggarwal,
& Kumar, 2015)
ii. In developing countries, industrialization lowers the cost of several
goods such as, shoes, clothing and fiber materials (Kuznetsov,
Gimpelson & Yakovlev, 2015).

3Industrialization in third world countries
iii. Industrialization in underdeveloped countries helps in accessing
medical items and medicines at affordable rates than before
(Mackintosh, Banda, Wamae & Tibandebage, 2016).
iv. Counter- Setting of factories for large scale production of goods leads
to overcrowding and pollution (Cherniwchan, 2012).
3. Industrialization leads to rise in the standard of living of common people of the
developing countries by providing easy access to medical resources.
i. Developed countries have easy access to medical care and hence, any
illness and disease can be cured more rapidly with effective result and
better health outcomes (Canudas-Romo, Booth & Bergeron-Boucher,
2019).
ii. Life expectancy rate of a population increases in third world countries
after industrialization came into action (kontis et al., 2017)
iii. In under developed countries mortality rate is high due to less medical
facilities and proper care (Moy, 2017).
iv. Counter - Air and water pollution caused by numerous industries in
china imposed health threat to local population residing nearby (Li,
Liu, Lü, Liang & Harmer, 2015).
4. Industrialization in third world countries gives rise to urbanization.
i. Through Industrialization, the population of developing countries are
getting better life style by having their own home, job and improved
education (Gollin, Jedwab & Vollrath, 2016).
ii. Industrialization helps in improving the awareness for education,
which is one of the major characteristics of urbanization (Kaelble,
2017).

4Industrialization in third world countries
iii. Industrialization and urbanization are correlated. Industrialization in
third world countries provides platform for entrepreneurs to expand
their business (Nagori & Saxena, 2012).
iv. Counter- Urbanization increases the pollution by emitting high amount
of CO2 in atmosphere (Xu, B., & Lin, B. (2015).
5. Industrialization in third world countries saves time and labor, and provide efficient
result.
i. Invention of new technologies and equipment deliver efficient result
within limited time (Blyton, 2017).
ii. Under most circumstances industrialization focuses on implementation
of labor saving technologies (Martínez‐Galarraga & Prat, 2016).
iii. Large scale production of goods by industrialization significantly
reduces the time that would be consumed during manual operations
(Rasiah, McFarlane & Kuruvilla, 2015).
iv. Counter- After setting up new factories in developing countries, job
opportunities for labor decreases which leads to formation of gap
between rich and poor (Cherng & Hannum, 2013).
