I don’t agree. If a company creates jobs in a third world country which would have been otherwise created in their “own” [1] country if not for cost reasons is morally and ethically in a grey area.

On the other hand, said workers in the third world country that has seen their conditions and prosperity get better will only want their conditions to get even better. This is what happened in the first world. A company preventing that is immoral.

1: own in the sense the place that contributed (schools, taxes, stable political system) to their growth to a point that they have wealth and expertise to invest in other countries.
