I don't particularly like outsourcing, but I could see this being a disaster. Leave politics aside, and the fact that no country would agree with other countries on what wages should be, but look at just the standards of living. The prospect of helping people in 3rd World Countries by increasing their minimum wage sounds tempting, but what happens when the businesses that are outsourcing realize this is not profitable, and pull out, leaving the unemployment rate in that country to soar, and starvation to become a more pronounced issue.
