| Description |
This paper assesses the impact of TNC investment on Philippine manufacturing in the areas of technology and skill, trade, and welfare. Based on the results of a questionnaire and interviews with managers of TNC-affiliated manufacturing firms, the following conclusions were reached: little technology is transferred; workers hired are among the more educated; skill development is halted; production is last-stage; local capital has difficulty competing with the [sic] products produced are generally accessible only to the affluent and aspiring middle class. Very little in the way of transition to export-manufacturing is occurring.
