Strukturwandelprozesse
Strukturwandelprozesse refer to significant and often long-term transformations within societies and economies. These processes are characterized by fundamental shifts in dominant economic sectors, technological paradigms, social structures, and demographic patterns. Historically, examples include the transition from agrarian societies to industrial ones, and subsequently to information-based or service economies. These shifts are not merely additive but involve a qualitative change in how societies produce, organize, and live.
Key drivers of Strukturwandelprozesse can include technological innovation, globalization, demographic changes, political decisions, and environmental pressures.
The consequences of Strukturwandelprozesse are multifaceted. They can lead to economic growth and improved living standards,
