Sewing Success?: Employment, Wages, and Poverty Following the End of the Multi-Fibre Arrangement
ISBN: 9780821387788 / Angielski / Miękka / 530 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The end of the MFA was followed by rising apparel exports, falling prices, and a reallocation of production and employment between countries. There were also significant changes within countries. The first main finding of this report is that export and employment patterns after the MFA/ATC did not necessarily match predictions. While many predicted that production would shift to low-wage countries, this book shows that only 13 percent of variation in export changes post-MFA can be explained by the differences in wage levels. Second, changes in exports are usually, but not always, good...
