In recent years, many small local shops have closed because consumers travel to large shopping centres or malls to do their shopping. Is this a positive or a negative development?

revealed that 27% of the world illiterate workless population are working in vast shopping

and earning income to survive in

Therefore
, unemployment has been reducing gradually by various large shopping malls.

Consequently

needs which is the essential motto of
this
development
. To conclude,
this
essay supports the idea that there are more positive elements than negative in the terms of getting jobs and fulfilling consumers requirement with imported items and these both things are difficult to provide by small shops.
Thus
, I consider
this
to be a positive
development
overall.
