  • Improving migration experiences for workers

    Open AccessLaura G Babbitt, Drusilla K Brown et al.ARTICLEWorld Development Perspectives2023References: 6

    Migrant workers are vulnerable to exploitation by recruiters, particularly if they lack control of official documents, incur recruitment-related debt, and are deceived about working and living conditions prior to the decision to migrate. Efforts to improve conditions for migrant workers include promoting fair recruitment. Fair recruitment implies that migrants are not charged recruitment fees, retain control of official documents, and are fully i…

  • La conformité sociale, une pratique rentable? Pourquoi on peine à convaincre. Analyse sous l'angle des coûts, des bénéfices et du prix de vente

    Open AccessAna Antolin, Laura G Babbitt et al.ARTICLERevue internationale du Travail2021

    Pour améliorer les conditions de travail au sein des chaînes de valeur mondiales, il faudrait convaincre les directeurs d'usine que c'est une opération rentable, ce que plusieurs études ont établi. L'analyse, qui porte sur un échantillon d'usines appliquant le programme Better Work en Indonésie, en Jordanie et au Viet Nam, montre que le coût de la mise aux normes annule parfois les gains de productivité. Pour que l'opération soit rentable, il fau…

  • Do Financial Literacy Training and Clarifying Pay Calculations Reduce Abuse at Work

    Open AccessNegin R Toosi, Elyse N Voegeli et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Issues2020Cited by: 3References: 73

    Understanding the link between effort and pay is important for workers. Yet, in many parts of the world, women lack critical financial literacy skills and have employers who do not clearly communicate compensation schemes. Using randomized controlled trials, we first examined the effects of a training program to improve financial literacy among female workers in apparel factories in India and Bangladesh (baseline N = 1,085). Training increased wo…

  • Labor Standards

    Open AccessDrusilla K BrownARTICLEThe Journal of Economic…2001Cited by: 8References: 12

    During the past decade, universal labor standards have become the focus of intense debate. Advocates argue from humanitarian concerns and the interests of industrialized-country labor, seeking enforcement with WTO sanctions. Opponents regard labor regulation as a matter of national sovereignty, challenge the effectiveness of trade sanctions, and prefer the ILO emphasis on dialogue, monitoring and technical advice. This paper analyzes the labor st…

    of world production and trade will be used to evaluate the trade, price, and employment effects of the GSP schemes. The EEC's GSP has been previously studied using both ex ante and ex post techniques. Baldwin and Murraya adopt a partial equilibrium framework in which tariff preferences are combined with estimated import demand elasticities to calculate the change in EEC imports from the beneficiaries. They conclude that in 1971, EEC imports from …

  • Trade preferences for developing countries

    Drusilla K BrownARTICLEThe Journal of Development Studies1988

    Empirical studies of the trade and development effects of the major preferential trading schemes between the industrialised countries and the developing countries are surveyed. Most studies find the agreements to be trade creating, improving welfare for the donor, though general equilibrium analysis indicates that terms‐of‐trade deterioration offsets efficiency gains. There is some evidence that trade preferences stimulate LDC exports of preferre…
