These economic structures reinforce social inequalities and may even threat social stability, because those in the less productive sectors of the economy do not benefit from the advanced sectors. This involves increasing awareness of the existence of such technologies, as well as providing the necessary capacity building or financial support to help firms benefit from them. For example, the Encouraging R&D in Traditional Industries programme in Israel provides support to traditional industries undertaking R&D projects, to help bridge the gap between less and more innovative industry sectors.
