In this week’s exclusive, subscribers-only MND Perspectives podcast, Travis Bembenek, CEO of Mexico News Daily, examines the potential risks and rewards of nearshoring for Mexicans. While foreign direct investment generally leads to more jobs, there is a risk that Mexican companies could be displaced by highly competitive foreign firms

Should Mexico should aim for higher-value jobs in areas such as engineering, research,  and management, rather than simply replicating the low-wage, low-skill model of maquiladoras? Will the influx of international companies rushing to nearshore in Mexico ultimately help Mexicans, or damage local economies and offer poorly-paid and undesirable jobs?
