Economic opportunities refer to the chances available within a region that enable people and businesses to improve their financial circumstances and overall quality of life. In the context of GCSE Geography, these opportunities are often linked to factors such as employment prospects, the availability of resources, and the presence of industries or sectors that drive economic growth. Economic opportunities can arise from developments in infrastructure, changes in government policy, technological advancements, or shifts in global trade patterns, which all influence how regions develop and prosper. Understanding these opportunities helps students analyse how different areas can attract investment, reduce poverty, and promote sustainable development.
