Offshoring and Employment: Trends and Impacts
This report provides new insights into the phenomenon of offshoring. First, the report defines offshoring in detail, allowing readers to see the many ways that industrial activity -- both in manufacturing and in services -- can be transferred abroad. The report then describes the wide-ranging effects that offshoring can have on domestic employment -- the positive, as well as the negative. Finally, this ground-breaking report outlines the public policy implications of offshoring. It suggests ways to limit the downside of offshoring while helping to build trust between the various stakeholders working to address this issue. |
