Labour in Global Value Chains in Asia

  • New
  • Paperback
Cambridge University Press. Softcover. New. The book deals with labour conditions in global value chains (GVCs) or out-sourced manufacturing and service production in Asia. Based on case studies across many sectors (garments, agro-foods, automobiles, tourism, IT services) and countries (Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka) it finds that labour conditions range from sweatshop conditions, in some of garment manufture, to relatively good employment systems, as in IT services. It goes against the grain of the often pessimisntic anlaysis of labour conditions under globalization by pointing out that these conditions are improving, largely due to workers‰Ûª sruggles to improve working and employment conditions.
