  • crime
  • unemployment
  • wars
  • poor working conditions
  • political/religious persecution
  • human rights
  • taxes
  • pollution, climate change, natural catastrophes

Chances

Outsourcing or offshoring in the global market area gives customers and companies access to cheaper materials, products and labour by obtaining them from outside suppliers often located in developing countries.

Chances
  • supporting poor communities by giving people jobs and improving local infrastructure
  • sharing knowledge and know-how
  • Fair trade campaigns can help developing countries get their fair share of the profits created
  • potentially securing jobs livelihoods and economic stability → lowering costs and raising profits

Challenges
  • competition for cheap materials and labour undermining the standards of living and income → horrendous working conditions, child labour
