Question: How does outsourcing relate to economics?
Also, what is the history behind outsourcing?

Answer:

Answer by Charmaine B
Outsourcing is one of the advantages of trade especially for countries which do not have many raw materials such as Singapore. They have to obtain materials for manufacturing by importing them and then using their high-end technology to produce manufactured goods and then use them domestically or export those goods at a higher price.

A country which has a strong currency will find that importing goods from overseas is cheaper relative to home grown goods. For example, in order for a firm to stay competitive, it may outsource raw materials overseas to keep the cost low rather than buying from a local supplier which can be much dearer.

However, if a country like Singapore becomes to dependent on outsourcing or if the demand for imports is inelastic, it may import the inflation of its trade partners as well, which makes their exports less competitive.
