Asian firms will send more workers abroad

According to a recent study, Asian companies are planning to send more workers abroad for the next three years, despite the financial crisis.
This study is linked to a previous study right after 2001. Then 60% of the queried companies said to send more workers overseas. In 2004 appeared that 70% of those companies actually did it.
There are several reasons why it’s necessary for companies to change their policy of overseas assignment regularly. One of them is globalization. Also the falling birth rate in Western and industrialized countries and the retirements of baby boomers makes it necessary to send workers over there.
