International Trade and Core Labour Standards
Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development , and OECD Manufacturer: Organization for Economic Cooperation & Devel ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 9264185356 |
Book Description
In the years since the OECD's 1996 study on Trade, Employment and Labor Standards, there has been an intensification of public concern over the controversial issue of trade and core labor standards. At the same time, a broad international political consensus has emerged with respect to definition and recognition of a small set of core labor standards. While a variety of mechanisms are being used to promote these standards, there remains a substantial gap between their recognition and their application.This OECD study provides a current overview of key issues, aiming to provide a common basis for constructive policy dialogue among the concerned parties in the future. What are the major developments with respect to trade and labor standards since the 1996 study? What is being done to promote these standards? What evidence is there of progress? What are the possible links between core labor standards, trade, foreign direct investment, economic development and employment? This study offers a response to these and related questions.

Trade, Employment, and Labour Standards: A Study of Core Workers' Rights
OECD Manufacturer: Organization for Economic Cooperation & Devel ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 9264152709 |
Book Description
Recent years have witnessed growing concern over the controversial issue of trade and labor standards. In a context of intensified international competition, alleged cases of child labor exploitation or of denial of rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining in some developing countries have been perceived by some in developed countries not only as a violation of human rights but also as unfair trade practices. On the other hand, developing countries generally respond that these concerns are unfounded and reflected disguised protectionist preoccupations. This study provides the first comprehensive analysis of this issue and reviews evidence for a large number of countries throughout the world. It looks at such questions as: What are the relevant labor standards in this discussion? Do countries with low levels of labour standards gain an unfair trade advantage over countries with high standards? What is the relationship between labor standards and economic development? What are the advantages and disadvantages of possible mechanisms to promote labor standards?
