 could prevent locals to immigrate to developed nations to pursue a better life.
For example

 has helped to decrease the number of Vietnamese immigrants to the United States by around 5%. Another reason for considering that the availability of equal products in all places is a positive growth, is that it can help to reduce shopping tourism. Some people like to travel to purchase things that are not sold in their places of origin, and if those objects were obtainable everywhere, individuals would not have to travel to buy them.
For instance
, an article published by The Washington Post revealed that American women are very fond of the luxury French brand Louis Vuitton, and with the
