Examples of the negative effects on communities following the loss of jobs where local employers go out of business or withdraw from the area can be seen in the Welsh mining villages which were decimated following the coal pit closures from the 1980's onwards. As the closures progressed, there was little or no alternative employment available locally and the increase in such things as family break ups, domestic violence, Alcoholism and drug abuse were all too clear to see. When a community loses its heart, it becomes a very different place to live in and the traditional route of grandfather working in the mines, with his son and then his grandson following in this tradition is broken leaving high youth unemployment. The young leave the villages in search of work in towns and cities with the break in the traditional family life leading to the villages having mostly older people living there. Add to this the fact that often, pit workers suffered from lung problems due to their working conditions and you have a recipe for disaster which has never really been addressed by Governments.
