Section Three: Literature sources searched
Effects of globalisation on the employment aspect of the emerging markets
There is drastic impact on the growth rate of emerging countries. Beck,
(2018) elucidated about the era which opened doors through LPG concept, it
became convenient for the retailers to connect with other geographical
locations. They easily established their networking either through foreign
direct investments, portfolio investments or collaboration. The focus is to
extract the advantages that come in handy when an established company is
making investments in other countries. This has the biggest impact on the
generation of employment as there is a sudden demand for labourers,
skilled people and personnel. It reflected on generation of revenues for the
retailing companies that have invested in a particular country and assist in
increasing the overall gross domestic product of a country.
Along with this, Ritzer and Dean, (2019) critiqued that globalization did
help in generating profits for the emerging markets, however it led to an
exploitation where the citizens get opportunities but in restricted limits. This
infers that they are poorly paid, given fewer priorities and are over timed. In
this regard, it is imperative to understand that distribution is related to
structure of the type of company and its overall strength. The composition
must be done in proper segregation so the skilled and unskilled
professionals do get equal opportunities.
