Employment Beyond Borders: The Role of International Trade in the Labor Market

The expansion of international trade radically alters not only global economic balances but also the world of employees and employers. The free movement of goods and services directly affects a country's employment rates, wage balances, and even the professional skills in demand. While global competition can lead to job losses in certain industries, it also fosters innovation-driven new sectors and career opportunities.

Our department provides students with the academic foundation to decipher this complex global ecosystem. By examining the reflections of trade wars, protectionist policies, and international investments on local workforces, we train the economic strategists of the future. The need for experts who can manage workforce transformation and make strategic decisions in changing global supply chains is increasing day by day. Our curriculum aims to equip our graduates with the tools necessary to remain competitive in this dynamic market.
