premise: The outsourcing of jobs to India from Europe and America has evolved from giving them relatively low-skilled work to passing on highly skilled roles. Multinationals have decreased the number of employees in Europe and America that undertake engineering design, science and software writing and instead now employ tens of thousands of skilled Indian workers in these challenging roles. Some are establishing second headquarters in the country because they have so many senior executives working on key projects there. The shift is in part due to it being easier in India to fill highly skilled, English-speaking positions and because, for the time being anyway, the wages for these roles are notably lower than wages in Europe and America. But it is also because companies want to position their businesses where they believe the future lies. India is one of the worlds three biggest pools of highly skilled English-speaking labour and some commentators believe that as many as 30 million European and American skilled jobs are at risk of being moved.
hypothesis: Three rationales for the outsourcing to India are portrayed.
