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.
Causes of Economic Recession. When a nation's calculated gross domestic product is affected negatively on account of decline in the economic activities, the situation is described as an economic recession. The calculation of a country's gross domestic product or GDP is usually for two or more successive quarters of a year. Many economists judge recessions to better understand the causes and find effective solutions to them. This period is emblematic of significant decline in economic activity.
