“…FDI can also help to create new markets for goods and services produced in the host country, which can lead to increased exports and economic growth [3]. Additionally, FDI can help create new jobs in the host country, which can lead to increased incomes and improved living standards; however, such a relationship has been observed to be different from sector to sector [4]. Finally, FDI can help to improve infrastructure in the host country, which can lead to increased productivity and economic growth.…”

The study examines the relationship between CO2 emissions, trade openness, GDP growth and foreign direct investment (FDI) in Romania. The research aims to provide empirical evidence for either the pollution haven hypothesis (PHH) or the pollution halo effect (PHE). The pollution haven hypothesis suggests that countries with weaker environmental regulations and lower environmental quality are more attractive to FDI, while the pollution halo effect posits that countries with high levels of environmental protection and quality can generate positive spillover effects for FDI. The findings suggest a significant relationship between CO2 emissions, GDP growth and FDI inflows, with GDP growth having a greater effect on FDI than CO2 emissions. GDP growth has a causal effect on CO2 emissions, while CO2 emissions have a causal effect on FDI. These findings have important policy implications, as they highlight the interplay between economic growth, environmental degradation, and foreign investment. Policies aimed at reducing emissions must be comprehensive and coordinated in order to achieve significant emissions reductions and strike a balance between economic growth and environmental protection.

“…Although there were minimal effects of FDI on employment in the industrial and services sectors, no such impact was observed in the agriculture sector. Wei (2013) conducted a study in China to evaluate the impact of FDI on overall and sector-specific employment from 1985 to 2011, utilizing time series data. At an aggregate level, the study discovered a lack of significant correlation between foreign direct investment (FDI) and employment.…”

The current study set out to determine the themes from the relevant empirical literature. After a systematic examination of the literature, the current study discovered that globalization has changed employment and trade in the labor market, impacted the employment rate, and increased gender differences. The study also revealed that FDI has a number of important effects and ramifications for sectorial employment, employment productivity, private sector employment, and employment creation. The study also revealed that different economies experience distinct mix effects of remittances on labor and employment. Similarly, trade openness has been shown to be a conduit for changes in employment. The study also discovered that the gender gap has gotten wider as a result of globalization, which has led to the loss of jobs in industries that compete with imports. The findings also demonstrated an understanding of the complexity of globalization and employment, which must be taken into account for each unique situation. It is anticipated that this study will assist decision-makers in identifying strategies to mitigate the adverse impacts of globalization.

“…FDI does not increase employment in the manufacturing sector and in the services sector it increases employment less than 30%. (Wei, 2013) found no relationship between FDI and aggregate employment for Chinese economy. The relationship between FDI and employment by sectors differed in the primary sector where it creates jobs as compared to the secondary sector where the relationship was insignificant.…”

This study has empirically investigated impact of globalization on aggregate and agricultural employment in Pakistan for the data period 1986-2017. Globalization is proxied by variables trade openness, foreign direct investment, workers’ remittances and exchange rate. Other explanatory variables are real GDP, gender based wage gap and labor force. The study has applied Johansen’ cointegration technique and Error Correction Model to estimate the long run and short run relationships. The findings of the study indicate that in the long run trade openness has negative whereas FDI has positive effect on aggregate as well as agricultural employment in Pakistan during the data period. Interestingly, exchange rate and workers’ remittances affect aggregate and agricultural employment differently. Other important finding is that real GDP and gender based wage gap also deteriorate aggregate and agricultural employment in Pakistan. The study concluded that globalization in the form of trade openness has not supported employment whereas FDI enhanced employment in Pakistan. Policy makers need to consider sector specific effects of globalization while designing policies to achieve inclusive growth in Pakistan.
