Topic of the day-Globalisation

Meaning-integration of economy of country with the world economy.
Involves creation of network and activites transcending 
-economic
-social
-geographical boundaries 
---creating a borderless world

Outcomes of globalisation 
1.outsourcing-intensified due to growth of fast mode of communication 
Reason for india at receiving end of outsourcing 
1.cheaper cost
2.reasonable degree of skill and accuracy


Features
1.role of MNC
2.good and services are produced globally-save 50-60% cost eg-garmernts, football production in india, london magazine printing in India
3.consumed globally
Eg-china cheap manufacturing location, mexico and eastern europe for closeness to market, india skilles engineer and english speaking
4.many MNC have wealth exceeding the entire budget of developing countries

4.foreign trade increases
5.transport facilities improves
6.new jobs created-local companies supplying raw materials
7.increase in foreign investment
8.greater access to global market
9.professionalism
10.If we redefine elitism by education rather than wealth (those at the top end of the education spectrum who might not necessarily be at the top end of the wealth distribution), globalization also delivers rich dividends for this group
11. Another important issue here is that freer mobility of capital across borders makes it easier for educational elites to get high-quality ideas funded—either by governments or private parties.
12.decline in global poverty, relative political stability and a reduction in global inequality.

Movement of
1.goods

4.small manufacturers suffered most-employ largest no of workers next only to agriculture
5.loss of employment due to above reason.
6.exonomic disparity among nation
7.regional disparity
