The world is globalizing every day. One of the most important affects of it is because of the fact that there are many multinational companies all around the world. The companies which aim to make businesses throughout the world establish new factories, subsidiaries or at least a small assembly line in different countries especially developing ones. By doing so, they employ the people who live in the host countries due to the fact that they want to decrease production costs because workers in that countries are paid lower wages.

Because of this condition, there is no money flow through the host economy except paying wages of workers. So, this results widening the gap between those countries. In addition, they are not so generous in subscribing into theirs. The reason is that one of the important priorities of them is to reduce production costs. Labor costs establish a remarkable place in variable costs of factories. In order to avoid this situation, they have found their way to enter the foreign markets because labor wages in those ones are really
