What is offshoring?

Offshoring is when a company moves some of its work to another country so it can save money or get things done faster.

Imagine you have a lemonade stand, and you need help squeezing lemons every day. Instead of asking your neighbor to help you, you go all the way across town to find someone else who will do it for less money. That’s like offshoring, moving some jobs from one place (like your neighborhood) to another (like a different city or even country).

Companies might choose to move their work to countries where people are paid less, so they can save money. Sometimes the new workers are faster or have special skills that help the company grow.

If you're working at a factory and your job moves overseas, it’s like your lemonade stand gets replaced by someone else's, but now you can buy more lemons with the money saved!

It’s not magic; it’s just smart planning.
