Global Interdependence has allowed countries to share ideas, goods, and even their way of life. With a population of 10.1 million people it is inevitable more people to share their customs with the world, and with such a large population, there is dependence on other countries for various resources. One example of interdependence is the trade of sugar, coffee, and tobacco. The Dominican Republic is a major exporter of these goods. It has positive effect on the country as it benefits from tourism and free trade zones (International Living, 2013).
A second example of global interdependence is market jobs. A negative effect on the Dominican Republic is income inequality. The distribution of revenue from GDP is not equal as the poor receive less than one-fifth. However, the rich enjoy over forty percent (International Living, 2103). Unemployment paired with minimum wages will be an issue for the Dominican Republic for decades to come.
Going even further into the negative aspects of global interdependence in the Dominican Republic is the effect of trade on women. Women are not only expected to work in factories and being severely underpaid, but also in danger of human trafficking. With global interdependence came the ability to trade nearly anything with the globe, including women (United Nations Office, 2012). There is a market for the trafficking of women and the only ones who benefit from this type of interdependence are the men who sell them. This is an example of how interdependence can also be dangerous.
