Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The facilities that Jeans Unlimited operates in Southeast Asia are examples of globalization of production, which refers to the sourcing of goods and services from locations around the world to take advantage of national differences in the cost and quality of factors of production such as land, labor, and capital. In this case, Jeans Unlimited is producing its clothing in Southeast Asia, where the cost of labor is lower than in Canada, where its headquarters are located. However, the company's use of questionable labor practices, such as employing child labor, has led to negative publicity for the company.
