Outsourcing and Offshoring – Overview from Finland in the Early 21st Century (in Finnish with English abstract and summary)

Ali-Yrkkö, Jyrki

This study analyses the extent and motives of outsourcing and offshoring. We find that in early 2000, 10, 000 – 23, 000 jobs were transferred overseas from Finland. Annually this corresponds to approximately 1.0 – 2.5% of normal job losses and creations in the Finnish labour market. The majority of offshored jobs concern manufacturing tasks.
