post-industrialisation
Beyond the factories
Post-industrialisation is the economic and social shift away from manufacturing toward service-based and knowledge-based industries.
It describes changes in developed economies where factories close, traditional working-class jobs disappear, and employment moves to sectors like finance, technology, and healthcare.
The post-industrialisation of the Midwest left many communities struggling to adapt.
Also spelled post-industrialization.
