Predatory purchasing practices in global apparel supply chains and the employment relations squeeze in the Indian garment export industry

While the literature has long acknowledged worker rights abuses in global apparel supply chains, less attention has been paid to the recent worsening of certain decent work deficits and its causes, which this article links to predatory purchasing practices arising from growing power asymmetries. These practices, illustrated here by the garment export industry in India, exert downward pressure on wages and incite non‐standard forms of employment and greater verbal and physical abuse as productivity demands rise. They can be addressed through pricing mechanisms that cover the cost of decent work, appropriate State regulation and worker involvement.     

Innovative approaches to regulating decent work for domestic workers in Côte d'Ivoire: Labour administration and the judiciary under a general labour code

The authors offer a contextualized analysis of judicial decisions rendered during 1971–2013 in Côte d'Ivoire, where domestic work is regulated by a general labour code. Assessments of those decisions, alongside qualitative interviews of institutional actors, elucidate how innovative practices were mainly derived from the code by attentive inspectors and by jurisprudence evolving to treat domestic work like any other. Yet limitations emanating from the inability to grapple with the specificity of domestic work are also identified. Reaffirming that the regulation of domestic work must embrace its duality (work like any other and work like no other), the authors conclude with a call for an international community of learning on decent work for domestic workers.

论英国乡绅的形成

乡绅是英国封建社会中晚期出现的新兴资本主义生产关系的代表。乡绅就其构成成份虽然复杂 ,社会地位和财富的多寡有所不同 ,但是在以资本主义雇佣方式经营农牧业方面却是一致的。乡绅的形成历时三个多世纪 ,其形成过程也是封建社会的解体过程 ,它的形成表明英国封建社会内部已经孕育出了自我否定因素。乡绅的成长、壮大直接推动了英国社会变革的进程     

论云南绅士与清末收回铁路利权运动

清末,全国各地掀起了收回铁路利权运动,各地纷纷组建铁路公司。滇省绅士也应时而起,创建了滇蜀滇路公司,试图通过滇省自己的力量来修筑铁路。公司建立后,他们苦心经营、举步维艰,终因迈不出资金短缺,技术人才匮乏这两道坎而偃旗息鼓。与此同时,与英国争路权的斗争,经过绅士的努力取得了胜利,打击了英帝国主义的嚣张气焰。在是否赎回滇越铁路之议中,铁路公司的绅士也较留日学生表现得更为理性和客观。     

清季官绅对不缠足运动的态度探讨

不缠足运动发展到清末,引起了社会的广泛关注。士绅阶层利用话语权势,在宣传不缠足运动中不断完善不缠足的理论,以促进妇女的解放;官方也改变了以往的旁观态度,转而支持不缠足运动,对缠足历经由劝到劝、禁并重,再到以禁罚为主,有利地配合了民间的不缠足运动,官绅对缠足的态度直接影响着不缠足运动的深度和广度。     

民国绅士内涵辨析

相对于明清时期,民国时期绅士已由一个封建特权阶层演变为一个具有特定身份属性的社会和职业群体,其地位和作用亦发生了巨大的变化。但学术界对于民国绅士涵义的理解颇多争议,或统称为地方精英,或将其等同于地方豪强、地主,还有人统以"劣绅"目之。这些说法或过于笼统,或失之准确,难以准确概括民国绅士的内涵及特性。民国绅士是指在民国地方社会因拥有一定的旧式功名、新式学校教育背景或具有为官(或其他公职)经历而具有某种政治、经济、知识或文化优势并在社会具有一定影响力的不同于官员也有异于民的地方精英力量。     

Unacceptable forms of work: A multidimensional model

Unacceptable forms of work (UFW) have been identified as an “area of critical importance” for the ILO as it approaches its centenary. Yet there is currently no comprehensive elaboration of the dimensions, causes or manifestations of UFW. This article reports on a research project that has proposed such a framework. The article first investigates and reconceptualizes key discourses on contemporary work to identify their contribution to an analytically rigorous conception of UFW. It then outlines a novel Multidimensional Model that has been designed for use by local policy actors in identifying and targeting UFW in countries across a range of income levels.
