Such policies provide incentives for companies to enter developing countries—usually to relocate manufacturing there—and thereby create jobs for residents and to bring in capital. What usually happens, however, is that the most needy residents fall victim to wage cuts, reductions in government benefits and exploitation in the workplace. In a “race to the bottom,” countries compete with one another by reducing restrictions on employers and cutting protections for workers and the environment...
