Economic Impact of Protests: History and Insights

Protests are a big part of democracy, but they can also affect the economy.

Economists say that when there are lots of protests, it can make people and businesses worried, which can slow down the economy.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) found that after big protests, the economy often grows slower, and stock markets can lose value.

In India, there have been many protests recently, especially about exams and education.

Protests can have different effects depending on the country's political system.

In more democratic countries, the impact on the economy is usually smaller.

So, while protests are important for raising issues, they can also have big effects on the economy.
