Mother of all Outsourcing Jobs

December 31, 2007
Where would the world be without outsourcing to other countries? Call center jobs, back office work… Even architecture, legal and medical jobs have found their way to India. Now, the latest market to get outsourced is surrogate motherhood.

As with many other outsourcing jobs, surrogate motherhood companies are found online and the cost is a fraction of what it would be in developed countries like the US. I remain fascinated at how the internet allows capitalism to spread throughout the world in ways we would have had trouble predicting even five years ago.
