1.	Infer the reasons for the emergence of Post-Fordism and the new international division of labour with suitable example.
Answer» The emergence of Post-Fordism and the new international division of labour : A new international division of labour has emerged in which more and more routine manufacturing production and employment is done in the Third World cities. Nike grew as an importer of shoes. The company grew to a multinational enterprise, a transnational corporation. As costs increased production shifted to South Korea in mid-1970s. Labour costs grew in South Korea, so in the 1980s production widened to Thailand and Indonesia. In the 1990s we in India produce Nike. However, if labour is cheaper elsewhere production centers will move somewhere else. This entire process makes the labouring population very vulnerable and insecure. This flexibility of labour often works in favour of the producers. Instead of mass production of goods at a centralised location (Fordism), we have moved to a system of flexible production at dispersed locations (post-Fordism).
