Employment and Import Penetration in the European Textile Industry
This study examines the effects that increasing imports of textiles have on employment in three selected European countries—the Netherlands, France, and the United Kingdom. The countries were chosen because each respective government has adopted distinctive industrial policies towards the international trade of textiles.
