Which disadvantage relates to employment in the parent country?

• A. Loss of jobs in parent country
• B. Job preservation
• C. No impact on employment
• D. Immigration

Answer: (A)

Moving production to another country often reduces the number of jobs available at home. When a company relocates manufacturing to cut costs, the parent country can lose those jobs, which is a direct and tangible disadvantage for local workers and communities. The other scenarios don’t describe this home-country employment drawback: preserving jobs would be a gain, not a loss; no impact means employment stays the same; immigration is a separate issue related to people moving across borders, not the direct effect on domestic employment.
