Global Economy’s Impact on Labor The global economy has had great impact on the labor force, affecting each country in its own way whether it deals with outsourcing and offshoring or unemployment.

Globalization has progressively integrated its way into all countries and the United States has seen that on the rise with diverse ethnic, economic, and religious groups that work together in everyday tasks. While the U.S. has taken advantage of their leadership role in the global economy, it is continuing to face global competition. United States has had its position in the world economy threatened by the BRIC – Brazil, Russia, India, and China, because they can provide labor for cheaper than what the United States can domestically. China’s economic power is on the rise, having more graduate and PHD’s, highly innovative, and taking a strong standpoint on reshaping the future of the global economy. The United States plays a strong role in the global economy is now threatened by the expansion in competition for jobs and investment by China, whose nation is on the rise.

The United States has been quick to outsource and offshore millions of domestic jobs that can be done at a cheaper rate to countries such as India and China.

  • Analysis Of The Us-China Trade

    1570 Words  | 4 Pages

    The current trade imbalance is caused in large part by intrinsic features of China's labor market and consumer base. The vast majority of China's 1.3 billion people still live in rural areas. China has, by some estimates, a surplus rural labor force of 120 million people, many of whom migrate to industrial centers to look for factory work, and drive down wages. As long as wages are low, the United States will continue to gobble up products made in China, while Chinese consumers will prefer to buy cheaper, homespun alternatives to American products. The rise in trade deficit with China has come at a cost to jobs in the United States, accordin...

  • Why China Can Attract More FDI: A Response to "Competitiveness in India and China: the FDI puzzle"

    1483 Words  | 3 Pages

    In 2008, a serious financial crisis swept the globe, causing many countries' economies sunk in depression or recession. After four years, some emerging economies, such as China and India which are the members of the "BRICS" (the acronym of Brazil, Russia, India and China, which are at a similar stage of newly advanced economic development), firstly got rid of the effect of this financial crisis. Therefore, these emerging economies begin to draw more economists' attention. Prime, Subrahmanyam and Lin researched the competitiveness in India and China through the foreign direct investment (FDI). In " Competitiveness in India and China: the FDI puzzle", Prime, Subrahmanyam and Lin (2011) applied the Porter's diamond theory to illustrate, the FDI puzzle, why China can attract substantially more FDI, although China and India have many similar factors (pp. 303-333). Though I strongly agree with their research because my experience in China confirms it, I still insist that they didn't provide ample evidence to support the result of this research. After summarizing their research paper, I will supplement evidence into the result from three aspects: related and supporting industries, government, and chance.

Places such as Japan, the U.S, and some places in Europe are all strong economic countries that are facing this shift in their populations. If these countries don’t figure out a way to deal with these changes, there could be a shift allowing other countries to take their spot as leaders in the

  • The Positive And Negative Impacts Of Globalization In China

    However, the impact it has made on China can be considered to be great as it brought China under the limelight in the global economy. Globalization has had many positive and negative ramifications on the Chinese economy. In the short run, it may be so that the negative impacts outweigh the positive impacts, but that is easily debatable. This is because all the negative impacts of globalization can be corrected with economic policies that can be efficiently undertaken by the Chinese government. In this manner, China in overall will be able to enjoy all the benefits of globalization and contribute more to the rest of the world as it continues to grow economically and socially. In today’s world, globalization is an important part of the development and prosperity of each nation and China too should be able to reap from its benefits. Today, as China proudly holds a place in the global economy as the world’s second largest economy and most populated country in the world, it can be said

    From the 1970s, there has been a wave of liberalization in China, which was introduced by Deng Xiaoping. This is one of the key reasons to the rise of China to be one of the economic giants in the world. In the last 25 years of the century, the Chinese economy has had massive economic growth, which has been 9.5 percent on a yearly basis. This has been of great significance of the country since it quadrupled the gross domestic product (GDP) of the country thus leading to saving of 400 million of their citizens from the threats of poverty. In the late 1970s, China was ranked twentieth in terms of trade volumes in the whole world as well as being predicted to be the world’s top nation concerning trading activities (Kaplan, 53). This further predicted the country to record the highest GDP growth in the whole world.

  • Service based economy in the U.S.

    354 Words  | 1 Pages

    We say that we are heading toward a more global economy because of the fact that competition in today’s markets is global. This means that corporations in the United States can compete in foreign markets and vice versa, therefore U.S. corporations and foreign corporations become interdependent and thrive off each other. This can have a good impact on the United States because it allows U.S. corporations to seek materials and labor outside of the U.S. in countries such as China, India, and Mexico, where workers are paid a lot less money than U.S. workers, thus allowing them to sell their products for significantly cheaper than if they were produced in the U.S.; however, the tradeoff is that many American workers in the industrial sector lose jobs due to this shift of labor to overseas. In the long run this will be beneficial for the U.S. and although some percentage of workers are losing work, new jobs in the services sector, in fields such as computer technology, telecommunications, and language skills are opening up and experiencing growth because of this change.
