The subcontracting and delocalization of productive activities that characterize the global capitalist economy are an attempt to reduce costs and exempt corporations from their responsibilities to labor by delegating production to other companies, regions, and countries and even to the workers themselves. Latin America is a prime destination for this corporate outsourcing. Outsourcing has increased deregulation and labor flexibility and introduced a model of high labor turnover and transience that creates fragmentation and precarious employment in the working class. La subcontratación y la deslocalización de actividades productivas que caracterizan a la economía capitalista mundial son un intento de reducir costos y eximir a las empresas de sus responsabilidades, delegando los procesos de producción a otras empresas, regiones y países, e incluso los mismos trabajadores. Latinoamérica es un destino principal para la externalización de las empresas. La externalización ha aumentado la desregulación y la flexibilización laboral e introdujo un modelo de rotación de mano de obra y la transitoriedad que crea la creciente fragmentación y el empleo precario entre la clase obrera
