Definition. Period of general economic decline, defined usually as a contraction in the GDP for six months (two consecutive quarters) or longer. Marked by high unemployment, stagnant wages, and fall in retail sales, a recession generally does not last longer than one year and is much milder than a depression.
For instance, a slowdown in the US economy has led to the GDP of the US growing at a snailâs pace of 1-2% in the last several years, sometimes slipping into the negative territory. By contrast, India clocked a GDP growth of 7-8% in the past few years. And the Govt is projecting it will clock 7.2% in 2012-13.
