F2F Class Notes 15th January (Joseph)

Urbanisation (rural -> urban cities)

Brain drain – when well-educated people leave their hometown to go to a more developed city. This results in the hometown to lose many smart people, making it more difficult for them to develop.

Close the distance – reduce the distance between two things (I want to move to a difference city so that I can close the distance from my hometown.)

No transferable skills – a transferable skill is a skill that can be used in many different situations (Because the factory workers had no transferable skills they could not get a good job after the factory closed.)
