Globalisation has disproportionately affected lower-paid workers. Validate your argument on the same.

1. Job Insecurity and Precarious Employment: Globalisation encourages flexibility in labor markets. Corporations often outsource production to countries with cheaper labor, leading to the casualisation of work (Standing's 'Precariat' class). Lower-paid workers face frequent job losses, no job security, and limited access to social protection benefits.

2. Race to the Bottom: To attract foreign investment, developing nations often suppress labor standards and keep minimum wages low. This creates a competitive environment where lower-paid workers are forced to accept poor working conditions and long hours to retain their employment.

3. Decline of Trade Unions: The global mobility of capital allows firms to threaten to relocate if unions demand higher wages or better conditions. This significantly undermines the collective bargaining power of workers, particularly in the manufacturing and service sectors.

4. Technological Displacement: Globalisation facilitates the rapid adoption of automation and AI, which often displaces low-skill labor, leading to structural unemployment. These workers often lack the resources for 'reskilling' required for the new digital economy.

5. Gender Disparity: In sectors like textiles or electronic assembly, female workers from lower socioeconomic backgrounds are often preferred as they are seen as 'docile' and 'cheaper'. They face exploitation, wage gaps, and double burdens of domestic labor.
