When you buy a book from Amazon.com, the biggest online bookstore
in the world, you may think your order is handled by American employees,
and you would be mostly right. But when you have a question, your email is
most likely to be answered by someone not in the Seattle headquarters but
somewhere in India, where all customer service is handled. This is the face
of the globalised economy.
Adidas is another good example. They moved most of their
production out of Germany where wages are high and settled in the poorer
job markets of the Philippines, Korea and Indonesia, where impoverished
people work for much less money. The same is true of much of the toy
industry, where about 60 per cent of the market has been controlled by
about 300 Chinese factories staffed by more than a million workers, most of
them young women.
The rapid developments in international communication systems and
the removal of trade barriers mean that multinational companies can
choose where to process raw materials, where to make components, and
where to assemble goods of all kinds - from toys and shoes to cars and
designer clothes.
For some types of work the computer has made location almost
immaterial. Like millions of people in developing countries, many in India are
still without electricity but shanty dwellers in the city of
Bangalore now live in the shadow of the new globalised world.
In Bangalore's electronic business park, Vishnu Patil is one of the
thousands qualified graduates benefiting from instant links. He works for
American doctors in Virginia. I play a very key role. My job is done for
doctors in the USA and Im a thousand miles away, says Patil. When a
patient goes to the doctors, the doctor jots down some notes about the
patients condition and as soon as he goes out the doctor dictates them into
his dictaphone. The recordings of the patients details are then sent eight
thousand miles to Bangalore via the Internet. Vishnu and a hundred co-
workers transcribe them and send them straight back to the United States
before breakfast, right into the patients file in the doctors computer.
Weve just shrunk to a very small globe where you can communicate with
anyone anywhere. Its a nice thing thats happening, Patil says.
Its easy to figure out how expensive it is to hire a secretary in the
U.S. It costs a fortune, he explains. The job I do is maybe thirty times
cheaper. But for us it is still a very good opportunity, due to the differences
in the cost of living. I consider myself lucky because equally qualified people
working for local companies earn much less.
Anti-globalisation campaigners point out that this internationalisation
process is based on the exploitation of poor people who work for peanuts
and that the dislocation process harms the better paid workers of Europe
and the U.S. But, on the other hand, where would these poorer workers be
without these jobs? In todays complex world of work without borders there
are no easy answers.
