Third World countries often mistakenly decide to permit rapid industrialization. When this industrialization occurs, many new factories open, and workers get jobs. Unfortunately, many of these new jobs are not permanent. The leaders of an industry want their factories to be as productive as possible, and they will do anything to achieve that goal. Whenever they can, they take advantage of automation, which means that workers are replaced by a more efficient machine. As a result, a worker trained for a specific factory job becomes unemployed, and the profits of the factory owners are maximized.

Many experts in Third World economics are concerned about rapid industrialization because it brings problems as well as progress. Citizens of these economists, the leaders of Third World countries should be aware of the dangers as well as the advantages of rapid industrialization.
