Recherchetool für Materialien Employment, wages and productivity trends in the Asian garment sector - Data and policy insights for the future of work The Asian region is still the main garment manufacturer of the world. This report offers objective data insights and robust comparative information to inform policies and practices on wages, productivity and decent work in the garment sector. The report aims to demonstrate that various structural factors – including trade policy and supply chain dynamics at the global level, as well as industry composition and institutional and contextual factors at the local level – interact to determine export and output growth, competitiveness, labour productivity, and wages and working conditions. In the post-pandemic era, any intervention to safeguard and expand decent work opportunities in the sector must take into account these structural challenges. The report is structured as follows. The introductory section describes the data and approach used in the report, and provides an overview of both Asia’s importance for global garment production, and the GTF sector’s importance for the region’s economies. Section 2 provides a mapping of the sector, which has become increasingly structured around GSCs, focusing on the implication of GSC features and dynamics for decent work. Section 3 describes the employment structure of the sector, highlighting its complexity and the multiplicity of actors involved, spanning across the formal and informal sectors. Section 4 discusses wages and labour productivity in the sector, including from a dynamic perspective. Section 5 highlights key issues affecting decent work outcomes for women who make up a large segment of the sector’s workforce. Section 6 briefly discusses industrial relations in the sector’s challenging environment. The last section provides concluding remarks.
