    Pros of Economic Globalization

    • Promotes economic growth by allowing countries to specialize in production based on their advantages, leading to reduced production costs and increased productivity.
    • Enhances quality of life through international trade, enabling countries to exchange goods and services, fulfilling needs more effectively.
    • Fosters technological exchange, where developed countries innovate in capital-intensive sectors while multinational corporations transfer technology to developing nations during labor-intensive production phases.

    Cons of Economic Globalization

    • Exploitation of workers in less developed countries due to lax labor regulations and lower wages, leading to poor working conditions.
    • Causes unfair competition in international trade as globalization can disproportionately favor stronger economies, disadvantaging smaller nations.
    • Contributes to widening inequality between the rich and poor, as benefits of globalization may not be equitably shared, reinforcing economic disparities.
