Abstract: The question of this study concerns the potential negative effect of premature deindustrialization on basic indicators of well-being and on possible mitigations of that negative effect either due to policy interventions or to generation of other types of employment. The central findings of this study are, first, that there is evidence on both a global and individual country case level for a negative effect from premature deindustrialization on multidimensional household well-being, and second, that while increased social investment has likely made the loss of industrial employment generation less damaging, it has thus far only been a partial solution, and a return to industrial employment generation would improve lives beyond what increased social provisioning has accomplished.
