The mining of gypsum can result in the loss of jobs as well as the disruption of local businesses, as the mining industry can dominate the local economy and compete with other industries. Additionally, the extraction and processing of gypsum can have a significant impact on the local environment, which can impact tourism and other industries.

Greater support for affected communities is essential for addressing the economic impact of gypsum mining. This includes measures such as providing alternative employment opportunities, investing in local infrastructure, and supporting the development of alternative industries.

The international community must work together to support affected communities, by promoting greater awareness and education about the impact of gypsum mining on the economy and supporting efforts to develop alternative industries.
