Hello all users!
Does "to contribute to somebody doing something" mean the same as "to lead to somebody doing something" and "to result in somebody doing something"?
For example.
Heavy unemployment contributed to him not being able to find a job.
Can the above sentence be expressed as:
Heavy unemployment led to him not being able to find a job.
Heavy unemployment resulted in him not being able to find a job.
I think it is rare for people to use "to contribute to somebody doing something".
What do you think of my examples?
Are "to contribute to somebody doing, to lead to/result in somebody doing" exchangeable?
Thank you.
