Employment, wages and working conditions in Asia's garment sector: Finding new drivers of competitiveness
This paper presents regional trends and
national estimates of exports, employment, wages, productivity and
working time in the garment, textile and footwear industries in
developing Asia and the Pacific.
This paper
presents regional trends and national estimates of exports, employment,
wages, productivity and working time in the garment, textile and
footwear industries in developing Asia and the Pacific based on official
trade statistics and national labour force survey data. It finds that
the region accounts for 60 per cent (US$601 billion) of global exports
of garments, textiles and footwear. The industry employs more than 40
million Asian workers. However, labour productivity and wages remain low
overall, and working time is often excessive. Applying standard
Mincerian wage regressions, the paper presents empirical evidence on
wage premiums and gender pay gaps in the industry, and discusses policy
measures that can help sustain growth through new drivers of
competitiveness.
