| Description |
|
This book investigates the various dimensions of exploitation of sub-contracted home-based workers engaged in hazardous work. It explores the exploitation of children, particularly girls, and women in the household, the exploitation of workers by the sub-contractors, and syphoning of surplus abroad along the value chain. There is a particular focus on the negative health impacts of such work and on public policies that can bring about a positive change. |
