Explain which of the following government policies would tend to make more sense in terms of consumer protection: The licensure of interior designers or the licensure of pharmacists

What will be an ideal response?


It is likely that there is little consumer benefit from licensing interior designers. If a consumer does not like the taste or advice of an interior designer, it is easy to find another interior designer who is more in sync with the consumer's tastes, and there seems to be little health or safety benefits to licensure. Licensing pharmacists makes more sense because of the significant health issues that could arise due to the nature of correctly or incorrectly dispensing pharmaceuticals.
