Comparative analysis of the impacts of globalization on the labour demand in developing countries and Turkey

The concept of globalization as a consequence of developments in information technologies, by affecting all spheres of the life, turning everything into consumable items and making them uniform, has changed the structure of many sub-sectors such as finance, communication and transportation. In parallel with improvement of finance sector, increasing capital movements have altered the organization of production through the world. Globalization, causing a change in each organ which took part within the process of production, gained labor market a global identity.Labor-intensive production processes in new economic structure is dominated by destructive competition conditions, changing the geography, has begun to shift to developing countries where cheap labor exist. With this innovation which radically changed labor demand, the demand to the labor force which worked in labor-intensive sector has decreased in developed countries. In spite of this, engagement of technology intensive- production systems while reducing the demand for blue-collar workers increased the demand for knowledge workers. The decrease in the demand of unskilled labor that has lacked the qualifications entailed by production processes led to increase the informality. On the one hand the increasing demand for knowledge workers, on the other hand already limited job opportunities occurring in the unskilled labor demand change; has caused division in the labor market.The technology used in production processes while reducing dependence on labor by using information highlighted the service sector where made production. Becoming uniform labor markets by the mobility in production systems has increased the need for knowledge workers in the global level. Developed countries through human capital are to train skilled labor. In addition, these countries transfer workforce trained with brain drain. As for emerging countries that do not have technological competence will meet this need can do much human capital by scarce resources.Developing countries, this new process, will struggle with their chronic problems and make an effort to train manpower required by changing production system at the same time. For developing countries, in this arduous process, to be successful and to develop stable, sustainable and comprehensive policies and to apply them will be possible.Key Words1.Globalization2.Labour3.Deman4.Employment5.Labour Force
