1. How would offshoring affect the demand for high-skilled workers in the home country? (The home country is offshoring low labor intensive actives.)

A) The relative demand and the absolute demand for high-skilled workers would increase.

B) The relative demand would increase and the absolute demand would decrease.

C) The relative demand would decrease and the absolute demand would increase.

D) The relative demand and the absolute demand would decrease.

Can someone explain why the correct answer is A. I understand the relative demand for high-skilled workers would increase but do not understand why the absolute demand also goes up?

Thank you in advance!
