Studying economics will help you develop problem-solving skills that you can apply to real-life situations. Economics will enable you to have a better understanding of how decisions taken by households, firms and governments can have far-reaching implications both locally, nationally and internationally. The study of Economics endeavours to find solutions to common concerns such as scarcity of resources, unequal distribution of wealth, and the role of the State in correcting market failures. Economics A level should give learners the knowledge and appetite for contributing to discussions on real-life word issues. As a result, Economists are frequently called upon as advisors and consultants within Business, Banking and the Government.
