What are supporting affected workers?Show answer
Globalisation causes some workers to lose their jobs when work moves to cheaper countries or industries shrink. A good response supports these workers: through retraining for new jobs, help finding work, and financial support during the transition. This matters because it reduces hardship for affected families, eases resentment against globalisation, and stops valuable workers from being left behind. Helping the losers is part of making globalisation work for everyone.
