Various definitions of Recession • Recession as explained by private sector • Recession as defined in Macro-economics
RECESSION AND DEPRESSION A joke that economists quote to explain the Difference between “Recession & Depression” RECESSION WHEN YOUR NEIGHBOUR LOSES HIS JOB DEPRESSION WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR JOB
FACTORS AFFECTING MARKET “DEMAND & SUPPLY” Producer wants his demand to be high Consumer wants his buying cost to be low Actually, Demand is the price at which consumer is ready to buy and producer is ready to sell; Demand = Quantity But, here Demand = Price; This is because, Price decides the Quantity of Sales; Competitive Price = More Demand; IncompetitivePrice = Less Demand; Producer Price Consumer Price
What happens in Recession • People buying less stuff • Decrease in factory production • Growing unemployment • Slump in personal income • An unhealthy stock market
The Impact of Recession on Employment • The impact of recession is unpredictable and depends entirely on the nature of the recession. • The lessons learned on past recessions have somehow helped us trace the patterns and have given us ideas on how to solve the problem.
However there are Benefits of Recession too! • It slows down the rate of inflation • Lowers interest rates • Gives chance for a better and more planned start • More competition if many large companies survive • Can lead to a more prosperous economy
