- Lower wages than workers in developed countries where a minimum wage operates.
- Promotion restrictions as managerial roles occupied by employees from developed countries.
- No unions for equal rights issues including unfair dismissal/hire and fire.
- Lower safety standards when using 'sweat shops'.
- Devaluing of traditional craft skills, replacement by repetitive 'machine minding' tasks.
