IT offshoring is a controversial practice because it presents a dilemma between the economic benefits for the company and the potential negative impact on employment in the home country. By shifting IT operations to countries with lower labor costs, companies can significantly reduce operational costs and increase their global competitiveness. However, this also has the potential to cause unemployment and economic instability in the home country, as well as raising concerns about the company's social responsibility towards employees. Governments and organizations need to consider balanced policies to support innovation and economic growth, while protecting the interests of local workers and promoting fair labor practices at the global level.
