Why is manufacturing moving to developing countries?
(outsourcing – delocalization – offshoring)
Cellphone pioneer Motorola has announced it’s closing a Texas manufacturing facility just a year after announcing its opening. (AP, 2014)
3,600 jobs lost
cheap labour, long hours, no protection of workers’ (human) rights,low health standards, low safety standards
low safety standards, low real estate costs, low maintenance costs, no insurance costs
low / no environment protection costs → air pollution, environmental degradation, diseases (externalities)
low / no environment protection costs → water pollution, environmental degradation, diseases (externalities)
Karlovac, 2007: a CO2 leak poisons and kills a man walking his dog nearby Karlovačka pivovaraInadequate control of the manufacturing process and byproduct disposalSafety standards?Three years later, 5 managers sentenced to 2.5 – 3 yrs in prisonFine: HRK 3M; no compensation to the family, a civil suit still pending
