Effects of globalisation Positive Rise of Tiger (NIC) economies like China, India, South Korea o Higher incomes and

d purchasing power parity (PPP) o South Korea a member of OECD and has worlds 11th largest economy Established states developed post-industrial economy (focuses on service, tertiary) o This meant raising educational attainment so more in service sector so better incomes, healthcare, housing, education Increased jobs Factory workers are migrants who have escaped rural poverty Negatives Deindustrialisation loses jobs o Manchester- textiles, Sheffield- steel o Increases social problems like crime, alcohol Two speed world developed with some countries developing yet some remaining poor whilst others are billionaires. E.g. India, China, Asia o Widened gap between rich and poor o India: 1.1 billion people Attractive site for TNCs Indian businesses expanding internationally 1/3 in poverty 375 million living in slums or poor rural regions Home to 32 billionaires

Moral and Social Consequences People live and work in inacceptable conditions Long working hours at harsh conditions Indonesia- people prosecuted for arranging trade unions- so more TNCs will invest as less hassle China factory conditions similar to those in UK during 19th century. Great Leap Forward in China- led to 30 million dying of famine as China attempted to develop Working conditions slowly improving India banned child labour China has better labour laws Urban workers have better conditions and increased life expectancy

Environmental Effects Pollution o Shipping o Aircraft o TNCs expansion o Vandalism o Increased use of cars o Rural-urban migration leading to more slum (bad environment) o Eutrophication o Leads to health issues as well Use of fossil fuels o Releases CO2 o Due to increased energy demand as countries develop and more manufactured Waste o Increased landfill sites Deforestation- removes natural habitats GLOBAL WARMING Cheaply produced food and goods transported all over world o Air pollution o Increased landfill sites from waste o Ecological footprint (measure of a humans demand on earth) increased o Sustainable development needed to contain and reduce these problems

Recycling Local campaigns raise awareness and refuse items with lots of packaging Retailers charge for plastic bags

Local buying Fiji water comes from 16,000km away from UK Tap water much cheaper Local food and produce has less food miles Winter crops produced in greenhouses which uses energy

Organic buying Organic food doesnt use fertilisers However a lot is imported which defeats purpose E.g. Organic asparagus from Peru

Individuals and businesses plant trees after flying abroad Adding green taxes to flights or road pricing schemes may reduce emissions but poor may not be able to afford
