WHY DO FREQUENT STRIKES BY WORKERS SHIFT THE PPC TO LEFT?

A Production Possibility Curve is the curve that shows the combinations of two goods and services that can be produced with fuller utilisation of a given amount of resources in the most efficient way and with a given production technology. Every point on PPC is associated with full employment of resources and efficient utilisation of available technology. On the other hand, the points that are below the PPC depict underemployment and under utilisation of the resources. The given case, where the workers go on strike frequently, represents an inefficient utilisation of resources. Thus, in such a case, the economy moves to a point below the PPC curve. 

It should be noted that in the given case, PPC will not shift to the left. Leftward shift of the PPC takes place only in situations where the technology used for the production of goods depreciates or the the total endowment of resources falls.

ppc is drawn on the assumtion that resources are eficientlyand fully utilised and techonology remain constant.

so workers are our resources(human Resources) and for frequent strikes they are not being eficiently and fully utilsed.so ppc is shifting to the left.

i hope this will help.

 frequent strikes result in lesser utilisation of resources and inefficient output this results in the leftward shift of ppc

PPC (production possibility curve) depict various combination of goods and services that can be produced with a given resource .

as we all know that labours are the variable inputs if they donot perform there work( because of the strike) then the production of goods and services will falll and this fall in production of goods and services shifts the ppc to thee left

in simple word ppc shifts right because of the underutilisation of resource ...
