A shortage can occur when demand for a product or service exceeds its supply, often due to factors like natural disasters, supply chain disruptions, or sudden increases in consumer demand. This imbalance can lead to rationing, where resources are distributed in limited quantities to ensure equitable access among consumers. Rationing can also be implemented by governments during crises to prevent hoarding and ensure that essential goods remain available for all.
