Answer:

Scarcity is used to refer to the idea that, overall in the world, there are not enough resources to meet humans’ unlimited needs and wants. Scarcity is an on-going condition. Shortage, on the other hand, refers to a situation caused by an imbalance in supply and demand. A shortage occurs when producers are not willing or able to supply as much as consumers demand. A shortage can last a long time or a short time, depending on how long it takes for supply and demand to come into balance.
