Globalization and Its Economic Impacts

Dr. Vandana Raga discusses the advantages of globalization for developing countries like India. Globalization boosts economic growth by improving resource efficiency, labor productivity, and reducing capital output ratios. It attracts foreign capital and technology, enhancing production quality. Globalization restructures trade patterns, favoring labor-intensive goods and services, and encourages domestic industries to improve cost efficiency and product quality. It discourages import substitution, promotes cheaper capital goods imports, and benefits manufacturing. Consumer goods industries expand, increasing employment and reducing poverty. The banking and financial sectors become more efficient with foreign investment.
