Social inequality is one of the biggest issues the world encounter now days. Some countries are getting richer at the profit of other countries and some other countries are getting poorer due to the extreme exploitation of other countries.

The profit accrues to the wealthy owners, who are mostly white, resulting in a racially divided world. (Andersen 208) Those rich countries can’t use their own population for their production because the labor is heavily expensive in their country and the economy will drop down. However, they use poor country who needs money because labor is cheaper. Social inequality pushed the core countries to send jobs overseas and thus those exploited countries tend to migrate in thinking that all the work is inside, which leads the economy to drop because everyone needs to be
