Make in India - Study on working conditions in West Indian textile companies

Make in India (“make it/producer it in India”) – this is the slogan used by the GOI to promote international investment, which in turn aims to boost Indian production. In this study, SÜDWIND, PRAYAS and Justitia et Pax examine the working conditions under which this “make in India” takes place in the textile sector.
The study is based on a qualitative survey of just over 100 employees from ten different West Indian textile companies who provide information about their working and living conditions. Serious problems in the areas of working hours, remuneration and freedom of association were identified during the survey and explained in this study. The relationships of the companies examined with international clients and standard initiatives are also presented in the company portraits in the appendix.
