| Summary: | Are jobs created by foreign investors
good jobs? The evidence reviewed in this article is
consistent with the view that jobs created by FDI are good
jobs, both from the worker's and the country's
perspective. From the worker's perspective, this is
because such jobs are likely to pay higher wages than jobs
in domestic firms, at least in developing countries, and
because foreign employers tend to offer more training than
local firms do. From the country s perspective, jobs in
foreign affiliates are good jobs because FDI inflows tend to
increase the aggregate productivity of the host country. |
