“…The public discussion has been dominated by the risks of imminent job relocation and the fear of many highly qualified professionals that they may become victims of globalisation like their lower-skilled colleagues in the past. The economic consequences of this development (Antras, Garciano & Rossi-Hansberg 2005;Antras & Helpman 2004;Bhagwati, Panagariya & Srinivasan 2004;Samuelson 2004) and the effect on employment balance thus became the main focus of scientific controversy (Baily & Lawrence 2005;Amiti & Shang-Jin 2004;Kirkegaard 2005;van Welsum & Reif, 2006;Gerstenberger & Roehrl 2006;van Welsum & Vickery 2005).…”

For a long time, it was the mainstream view that the internationalisation of labour is limited primarily to industrial manufacturing. However there are now signs that service employmrnt, or more precisely, information work, has also become a focus of globalisation. As a result, a new phase of informatisation has arisen, characterised by the rise of the internet as a new global space of action and new opportunities for an international division of labour For almost any activity comprising work with digitised information, global information networks have created a new, globally accessible space of production. By this means, geographical distances can be bridged in real time in many labour processes. The dynamics of this development are illustrated in this paper by the IT Industry and the rise of India to a new strategic position as a site for IT development, drawing on interviews carried out in India and Germany by the ‘Export IT’ project (www.export-it.de).

“…Bardhan and Kroll (2003) found that about 11% of all US jobs were offshorable, but they limited themselves to occupations where some offshoring was already occurring. Van Welsum and Vickery (2005) gauged that 20% of total US employment was offshorable. Jensen and Kletzer (2010) used a very different approach that leveraged location data inside the US.…”

“…India, in particular, has specialised in ICT-enabled services and increasingly affects services markets in OECD countries. Services offshoring implies that not only low-skilled manufacturing jobs but also high-skilled service jobs are affected (Van Welsum and Vickery, 2006). The rapid integration of new large players such as China and India has further reinforced fears of job losses in developed countries.…”

The OECD is a unique forum where the governments of 30 democracies work together to address the economic, social and environmental challenges of globalisation. The OECD is also at the forefront of efforts to understand and to help governments respond to new developments and concerns, such as corporate governance, the information economy and the challenges of an ageing population. The Organisation provides a setting where governments can compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good practice and work to co-ordinate domestic and international policies.
