FDI could have a favorable short-term effect on
growth as it expands the economic activity. However,
in the long run it reduces the growth rate due to
dependency, particularly due to “decapitalization”
(Bornschier, 1980).

technological progress have differential impact on
wages and employment.
Higher extent of FDI in an industry leads to higher
wage rate, it has no impact on its employment.
Higher export intensity of an industry increases
employment in the industry but has no effect on its
wage rate.
Import of technology has unfavorably affected
employment in India. The study by Sharma (2000)
concluded that FDI does not have a statistically
significant role in the export promotion in Indian
Economy.
