  People all around the developing world are anxious to participate in the global economy, but have no way to gain access. Impact sourcing is an attempt to fix this problem, and idea to make it attractive to businesses to outsource processes to people in the developing world. Companies are looking to hire less-educated and more remote workers because they will accept a smaller paycheck. However, there is concern that this will lead to digital sweatshops. The good side of this opportunity, though is that for the first time in history we are able to maximize the social impact of those at the bottom of the pyramid and give them financial stability.
