obviously, as soon as more jobs come in a country, the standard of living of the citizens who work for these MNC companies, increases, who then demand better wager...resulting in higher cost for the parent company

& soon Philippines will be the same, in 10 years the cost of living will increase there too, & these companies will again move somewhere else, I wonder where, lolzzz maybe Mars

If the african countries can get their act together, who knows africa may also become a hot outsourcing destination.

no way ..........salaries for professionals in africa is very very high

eg a comp science fresher here in india gets only 2 to 2.5 lac whereas in africa it is sumthing lik 6 lacs in there ( forget grads frm nit,iit)
