Around the world in 80 ways – The truth about delocalisation

At present, delocalisation only accounts for a relatively small number of jobs lost in Europe due to restructuring. However, competitive pressure from abroad leads to other forms of job loss. As European companies are increasingly exposed to foreign competition, a growing number of companies may not be able to withstand this competition and will have to dismiss employees. This fact sheet forms part of the Eurofound resource pack on Around the world in 80 ways – today’s global market place. The pack explores the impact of globalisation, providing insights into developments, perceptions and measures dealing with its consequences.
