ECONOMY AND SOCIETY DURING THE WAR
the countries involved established
a war economy
when they realised
that the war was going to go
on for a long time
It was called a war economy
because all economic activity
was directed towards
the war effort
The industrial sector
concentrated on the production of
military equipment
supplies
such as:
weapons
uniforms
planes
cannons
Rationing
was introduced
people received ration cards
that could be used to obtain rationed goods
At the same time,
the black market developed
New jobs
Most young men
were conscripted
or recruited
into the armed forces
Women
had to leave the home
to fill the positions
the men had left
For the first time
women were allowed to do
jobs in economic sectors
that had previously
only been done by men, such as:
industry
transport
offices
Agricultural and consumer goods production
decreased .
because there weren't enough labourers
As a consequence,
there were shortages of some products
prices increased
