Apple is planning to set up manufacturing plants in India. Many see this as a positive development because it can create jobs and boost the local economy. It will also help Apple reduce its dependence on China and diversify its supply chain, which is important for the company’s long-term stability.However, there is another side to this move. The main reason global companies shift manufacturing to countries like India is cheap labour. Workers are often paid very low wages compared to their counterparts in Western countries or even in China. This makes production cheaper for Apple, increasing its profit margins, but the workers themselves do not always benefit in proportion to the company’s gains.
Another concern is working conditions. Cheap labour often goes hand in hand with long hours, minimal benefits, and poor workplace safety standards, especially when there is weak enforcement of labour laws. While some new jobs will be created, the quality of these jobs is questionable. People may be employed, but they might still struggle to live a dignified life if wages remain too low and conditions do not improve.
Therefore, although setting up plants in India can look like a win-win situation on the surface, it also raises ethical questions. It is important to think about whether such jobs will actually empower workers or simply continue the cycle of global inequality, where large companies benefit most while workers remain stuck in low-paying, insecure employment.
