A former employer of mine used to work with a Belarus team (long before the attack on Ukraine). And another company I used to work for is partnering with a company from Ghana. They are called AmaliTech and do mostly Salesforce related stuff. If it's done properly, that's a good thing. African talents get international experience and a well paying job without leaving their country. As long as they are seen as real team members with proper contracts, onboarding, and as long as they aren't replaced every three weeks.
Yes, as that would be elevating the working conditions of workers in that scenario, which is usually on the table as an option regardless. This economic model however is reliant on enabling the opposite. The door being open for cheap expendable labor is the underlying purpose and point.
It worked well for some Asian countries, including China. They started with cheap and primitive labor and worked their way up to the most advanced technologies. Bangladesh on the other hand seems to keep being exploited for sweat shops. But that may as well be a stereotype as sweat shops are all out media reports about when it comes to Bangladesh.
