Social Science (087) — AI-generated practice question

When MNCs outsource production to developing countries, workers face serious consequences: jobs become temporary and insecure, wages fall, working hours increase, and benefits like health insurance and provident fund are denied. For example, Sushila, a garment worker in Delhi, lost her permanent job and now works 14+ hours daily, seven days a week, earning less than half her earlier wages, with no benefits.

The government must ensure labour laws are properly implemented so workers receive their rights. It should also negotiate fairer rules at WTO and support small producers. Protecting workers' interests — not just those of the rich and powerful — is key to making globalisation fair.

• This 3-mark answer requires two parts: consequences for workers + government's role. Examiners expect both clearly addressed.
• Use Sushila's example — it's directly from the textbook and earns marks for application.
• Key government measures from the text: enforce labour laws, support small producers, negotiate at WTO. Don't invent points outside the passage.
• Avoid writing an essay; ~80 words is the right length for 3 marks.
