Abstract

Among several academics and policy-makers concern has been expressed in recent years that the internationalization of economic activity has put pressure on labour standards worldwide. As multinationals take advantage of lower barriers to capital movements, of changing production and distribution technologies and global marketing strategies, the argument has been put forward that a form of regulatory arbitrage has taken place, as some mobile investment has been attracted to environments with relatively low levels of regulation.
