Two thoughts cross my mind reading this thread:
1) At least part of the reason the work is being exported is that we don't want to pay the price of goods made at western labour salaries, even if the quality is better.
2) We are quite happy (well up to a point) to give foreign aid. But if the recipients can even begin to compete for work then we are not so happy. So we are quite happy to give people fish, but not let them fish ... to mix a simile.
