Determine which direction the PPC will shift as a result of these major events:

* An epidemic wipes out one-third of the country's population.
* Educated and skilled workers begin migrating to other countries on a large scale.
* Private businesses come together to sponsor college education for low-income students.
* The government builds an extensive network of highways to facilitate cargo transportation.

The PPC shifts left due to an epidemic and migration of skilled workers, indicating a decrease in production capacity. In contrast, the PPC shifts right with investments in education and infrastructure, signifying an increase in production capabilities. These shifts reflect changes in the economy's ability to produce based on various influencing factors.
