The low price of another production factor, labour, fruit of the underdevelopment
itself, is another element of opportunity, although from the point of view
of national production might be – as stated before – a handicap for technological
innovation. Textile manufacture, carried out today mostly in UDCs – some times
using children as the labour force – or electronic components assembly, are two
examples of the influence of this factor, as is the transfer of some car assembly
plants from Western to Eastern Europe. Nevertheless, the qualification of the work
factor is very uneven in the underdeveloped world.
