Now even the WTO supports Offshore Outsourcing.

Till now it was NASSCOM and its head, Kiran Karnik, who was fighting the battle on behalf of India against “Offshoring” or “Offshore Outsourcing”. However, we now have a WTO Report that has downplayed the impact of Offshoring on production, employment and trade patterns. It has supported its analysis with statistics – the offshoring of IT Services constitutes on 10% (approx) of the total world export of business services. If we look at it in context, IT jobs in the US constitute only 2.3% of the job market of the US.

So what are we really talking about ?
