Globalization, social exclusion and work : with special reference to informal employment and gender

Author

  • Carr, Marilyn.
  • Chen, Martha Alter.

Abstract

Looks at three different patterns that limit competitiveness: a) questionable working conditions in export processing zones or within global value chains that are driven by a foreign or multinational enterprise; b) exclusion of self-employed from the internal governance process of the chain; c) import-flooding putting domestic sectors at a disadvantage. Makes policy recommendations for more favourable inclusion opportunities.
