Explain the relationship between a country’s labor force, its natural resources, and its ability to industrialize (growth of factories). PART TWO: What factors might keep a country from industrializing?
There must also be enough workers, consequently the US allowed millions of immigrants in. A country that has plenty of natural resources does not have to import or rely on good relations with other countries. This can make the product cheaper to make and to sell. A country that lacks any of the above can be at a disadvantage. Other factors that can prevent a country from industrializing are a lack of navigable rivers, conflict or war, poor education system, lack of entrepreneurs, lack of capital—money, land, machinery, etc.
