Positive effects of Globalisation
Causes more jobs:this makes the GDP higher and develops the economy,also the government benefits as they can rise the taxes.
Multiplier effects-Economies of scale:TNCs not only provide jobs for people working in their company but to other people like architects because the new people working there need basic things like a house.
TNCs can make countries MEDCs.
Branches also reduce pollution as there is less transportation
Negative effects of Globalisation
If TNCs move form a MEDC to an LEDC many people loose their job,and eventhough other people get it they get exploit and paid really low wages.Deforestation is also a problem as the increase of building factories destroys the animals habitats
