Dr. Mandelman's comment on this article

[edit]

Dr. Mandelman has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:


In the Section "Causes" I would suggest to add the following text.

International trade appears to play a decisive role in the polarization of the labor market (See Mandelman 2016). Labor tasks typically executed by middle-skill workers have been increasingly offshored overseas (See Ottaviano et al., 2013). Namely, as revolutionary advances in transportation and communications take place, firms can deliver instructions instantaneously and move intermediary goods quickly and cheaply. This allows firms to use labor inputs that are located in different countries. In advanced economies, high-skill individuals working in R&D or high-tech product design may not be threaten by this offshoring wave, but other middle-skill occupations typically found in manufacturing can be easily moved overseas. Low-skill workers, in turn, tend to have occupations that cannot be offshored since they require to be executed where the final consumer is located. Examples include janitors, gardeners, constructions laborers, child/elderly care, and restaurant workers, among others (See Autor and Dorn, 2013). Many of these jobs are performed by low-skill immigrants in advanced economies. Consequently, immigration may be regarded as substitute for offshoring when not technologically feasible. (See Mandelman and Zlate, 2015)
