What is structural change and conjunctural change

Each country has its methods of evaluation in the population and economy, however, there are different universal terms that are used to describe the processes that each region goes through, such is the case of the terms “structural change” and “conjunctural change”; both are used to be able to solve the different economic or social problems depending on the time that they have been happening in a certain country.

To analyze in depth the social structures that determine the naming of the terms, we have dedicated an exclusive article for your learning, knowing what the differences are between the two and when they should be implemented will help you a lot.

• Structure: cLet's start by defining the term “structure”, it refers to the way in which the elements that make up an object or situation are distributed. Other meanings can be attached to the word structure depending on the circumstance that accompanies it to coin the term, for example, we can find the social, economic, physical, biological, information structures and even refer to a support method for various surfaces ; the latter is the most used in the population.    
• Joint: isThe term refers to the changes and circumstances that a certain element is going through, be it social or economic, but that directly affects the human being and intervenes in the solutions of all the important issues that involve it.

What is structural change?

In one country, the cSocioeconomic ambitions can be structural or conjunctural, then we know by structural change any process that the system of a country undergoes that involves the economy, society and culture; where a long-term change is defined according to the different periods of one or more governments.

Said change is a modification in commercial relations, bases of the economy, public services and social problems. Each of them can be total or partial, which of course modify the course of the history of a nation.

This is implemented when a country is in unbalance, where unstable situations are repetitive and do not reach a definitive solution, in turn when the nation's budget itself is implemented in useless agreements that do not correspond to the reality of it.

This term is also used for predict a future cyclical breakdown, so it is a "before" of what a country can convert.

It ensures a future reestablishment of the economy and the country, making it very clear that an economic equilibrium is approaching

On the other hand, according to Marx, each structural modification is motivated by the massification of thought, in turn admitting that the totality is existent and is constantly changing. Society, nature, economy and human beings are in constant change that is sometimes visible, by virtue of this, it is necessary to delve much more into the conditioning problems of the same culture, accessing the psyche of the individual to detect the failed element .

Likewise, this change can be initiated by different factors such as the country's policies, the budget, crime, poverty, unemployment, social underdevelopment or health problems that directly interfere with public health.

A clear example of this type of changes implemented in nationsIt is communism and the little feasibility of its operation. In most of the nations that have implemented this system, they have had problems of all kinds of components, within this problem we see how the Soviet Union imposed an imbalance in the regions that made it up, thus causing a chaotic outcome of the temporary periods. that were lived under these laws.   

Characteristics of structural change

• The effects are long term.
• You can refer to the term as globalization.
• It is a purely strategic process.
• It does not affect the fundamentals of the state directly
• It does not modify the laws unless it is of dire necessity.

What is the conjunctural change?

This type of change does not modify either the laws or the judgments, for its part, it emphasizes a single sector of the population that is failed.

It is then that the conjunctural change has no effect on the bases that support the current system, rather, it seeks to maintain them so as not to have a greater impact on the State.

It is usually used to modify a single aspect or aspects that are very subtle but that have greater importance for the future of the nation, they are implemented only if all those involved agree to make certain changes.

Thus, not every structural problem warrants this urgent change, for this, it is necessary to maintain a critical analysis of the elements that are in excess and affect the country.

Characteristics of the conjunctural change

• It can refer to natural problems such as earthquakes, storms, earthquakes and others.
• It is a short term change.
• It focuses on a single problem to find the fastest solution.
• It also focuses on the various social components.
• It aims to maintain the basic elements of a state, that is, once the problem is solved, the nation once again has the same functional policies of course.
• It is less than structural change.

Structural and conjunctural changes in the economy

In terms of economics, it means that it is necessary to modify the policies and economic system of a country. The same productive building of the nation it must be urgently changed so as not to hinder development.

The presence of the need for this change means that the bases of some economic habits are not suitable for the needs, budget and expenses of the country.

In the same vein, the presence of a necessary conjunctural change means that the structure and economic habits of the nation can be maintained, but that obviously there is an opportunity to be modified to optimize its performance.  

Examples of structural change

This type of change affects the entire group, if for example in a certain time the social components are exponentially modified such as birth control, the State must make a parenthesis that this time has the term of structural change to solve the lack of food , or rather, make the country's productive factor much more advanced, so that the nation will not depend on its budget.

Within factors that warrant a change in structure If this is the case that we raised before, the country must make agriculture develop much more, likewise the industrial zones must produce much more food to meet the demand of the population.

On the other hand, a solution may be to increase people's salaries so that they have a better chance of acquiring everything their children need.

In another vein, a phenomenon that has changed the lives of people worldwide has been globalization, which has forced all the nations of the world to adapt to various socio-economic and cultural changes.

Examples of economic change

It may very well be the rise in the price of oil that temporarily increases either the debt of a country or the high production of the same resource.

This means that the nation that exports it has a double demand for the nation that imports it.

This type of change, in turn, is usually implemented in electoral seasons to make the mass be in favor of any political position.
