The term offshoring is currently being broadly used to refer to the transfer of all kinds of technical, knowledge-based (so-called white-collar) jobs from countries like Canada and the US to countries which have a highly educated and skilled technical workforce, but much lower wages and living expenses, such as India and China. It is the result of the globalization of economies, and is enabled by modern communications and information technology. 3, record 1, English, - offshoring

Existe no obstante la preocupación en los países desarrollados, sobre todo en los Estados Unidos, de que como consecuencia de la deslocalización se exporten puestos de trabajo a países donde los costos son bajos, lo cual tendría como secuela el desempleo y generaría presión para que se redujeran los salarios. En cambio, en los países pobres hay grandes esperanzas y expectativas de que la deslocalización sea en el futuro el motor del crecimiento y la creación de empleos. 1, record 1, Spanish, - deslocalizaci%C3%B3n
