| Abstract: | Jobs, not people, are moving abroad: growing economic intergration is occuring against the backdrop of a relative immobility of labour; globalization generates new patterns of dependence, with implications for national and international labour policy. The author examines the relative impact on the quantity, quality and location of jobs worldwide of MNC's "stand-alone", "simple-integration" and "complex-intergration" strategies and concludes that the rising quality of labour obsreved in many developing countries with improved physical and telecommunication infrastructures means expanded locational choices for MNCs, easier participation by these countries in international production, but also intensified competition. |
