COUNTRIES INVOLVED
The emerging countries supplying offshore outsourcing have several traits in common:
>> lot of young people with medium-advanced technical-scientific education entering the labor market every year
>> comparatively small industrial base
>> widespread use of English
>> good IT and telecommunications infrastructures.
India is the country that more than any other fulfils such characteristics (though the electrical power and telecommunication infrastructures are still lacking) and, in fact, this is the country that is developing offshore outsourcing activities the most.
Besides India the most often quoted examples are: for the US market, the Philippines, Russia, Mexico and several nearby countries (Central America and the Caribbean), and for the European market several countries of Central and Eastern Europe (for Italy Romania is often quoted).
An African country, Ghana, is also emerging -and it offers considerable cost advantages compared for instance to India.

Also an OCSE country, Ireland, is home to many activities of offshore outsourcing -which shows that international outsourcing may prosper also in high-income countries.
