How did we come to this? From a terrorist attack to the economics of moving jobs abroad.
But that is indeed an interesting debate. In Holland beta orientated university programmes are way down. So what we are doing for now is hiring Chinese / Indian / Pakistani etc to fill to highly technical jobs in The Netherlands. It is a matter of time that not only the production of goods but also the development will be outsourced to these countries and where will Europe then be?
Only providing management positions?
Ah well, it’s going to be hard to turn this trend around……….
