- Summary
- Offshoring - the transfer of an industrial activity abroad - has become a fact of life for business, but it is also perceived as a threat by a large segment of the general public, and much of the public concern centers on employment, especially the potential loss of domestic jobs. This report provides new insights into 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 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.--Publisher's description.
