India:
“Throughout the human civilization, India was the manufacturing
powerhouse of the world contributing to more than quarter of world
manufacturing and GDP till the middle of 18th century. But in the
later half of 18th century, India underwent political turmoil and
Europeans (mainly British) got an opportunity to become political
masters. During their rule, British economic policies were targeted
towards weakening of the craft guilds, enforcing pro-British trade
policies and banning production of many products & commodities in
India. The process of deindustrialization was very rapid in India and
within 120 years of British Raj (1750-1870), share of Indian GDP in
global GDP reduced to one-eighth of global GDP and further to one-
twenty-fifth in next 80 years (1870-1950).”

Japan:
“A notable event began in the 1990s as the economy of Japan suddenly stagnated
after three decades of tremendous economic growth. This could be construed as
directly linked to deindustrialization, as this phenomenon began to be recognized in
developed countries of the world around this same time. However, Japan had larger
economic problems, the effects of which can still be seen in the country's low
economic growth today. According to data from the Organisation for Economic Co-
operation and Development (2008), deindustrialization is occurring in Japan.
However, although industrial employment as a percentage of total employment has
dropped over the last couple of decades in Japan, total employment has
not.[citation needed] Unemployment was fairly low at 3.5% in 2007 (CIA World
Factbook 2008) and the economy is relatively stable. Literature (Matsumoto 1996)
has stated that the service sector has been expanding and providing jobs for those
that have been displaced from industry. Strong union membership has also played a
role in keeping employment rates stable. Although outsourcing and industrial
decline may contribute to job loss in industry, the shift in modern economies from
industry to service may help reduce negative effects..”
