Multinational corporations are often criticized at home for diverting labour-intensive jobs from the domestic labour force to foreign labour markets, diverting capital investments away from the domestic market, and encouraging corrupt practices in their foreign subsidiaries.

Multinational corporations have been criticized for these reasons, as they focus on maximizing profits and may prioritize their foreign operations over the domestic market. However, it should be noted that they also bring in foreign investment, create jobs in foreign markets, and may contribute to technology transfer and skill development in local communities.
