A Study on the Effect of Offshoring on the Employment in Manufacturing

This paper reviews existing literature on the offshoring or global outsourcing and employment and empirically analyzes the effect of offshoring on the employment in manufacturing in Korea from 1999-2006. We employed the System GMM with data obtained from the Survey of Mining and Manufacturing, Input-Output Table and SKTC trade statistics. Our findings are as follows. First, narrow offshoring, ie, log real imported inputs from the same industry abroad had a significant positive impact on the log employment. Second, wide offshoring, ie, log real imported inputs from all the industries abroad was insignificant. Third, narrow outsourcing ratio had a significant positive impact on the employment. Fourth, the effect of wide outsourcing ratio also had a significant positive impact on the employment.
