Global Labor
| Globalization has encouraged the free movement of goods, services, finances, and information. It has not encouraged the free movement of labor. Nation-states have tried to balance citizen-worker needs, new economic development, and movement of corporations to lower wage-earning nations. Global issues include: the brain drain of skilled workers from developing nations; guest worker and illegal worker jobs in developed nations; outsourcing of jobs and job loss in developed nations; worker remittances and national balance of payments; sweatshops in both developed and developing nations; equal worker conditions and benefits in developed versus. developing nations; and training programs in developed nations for workers who have lost jobs to corporate movement to a lower-wage nation. |
