Abstract

Globalization’ has been changing the situation in the labour market. One of the aspects of this phenomenon is offshoring, which is the movement of the business process or its part abroad. There are controversies about the impact of offshoring on the labour market, especially in the developed countries, where people feel uncertainty about their jobs. There is a number of studies on globalization, and there are articles warning people against losing their jobs. On the contrary there are deficiencies in the existing research on how offshoring influences work and income distribution, which is the main topic of this work. The objective of this article it to show who wins and who loses in the labour market in offshoring. The first section of this article covers the main definitions, the difference between offshoring and outsourcing and the reasons why these phenomena have been increasing in the last decades. The second section is dedicated to indicate demographic tendencies in the global labour market. The last part will cover the review of the latest literature to show how differently offshoring impacts skilled and unskilled employees.
