Flashcards
0/15
11. Gender Pay Gap
The gender pay gap refers to the disparity in earnings between women and men. Globalization can impact wage parity, and multinational efforts are required to address this issue across countries.
12. Forced Labor
Forced labor is any work that people do against their will under threat of punishment. It's a global issue that persists despite international agreements to eliminate such practices.
10. Supply Chain Compliance
Supply chain compliance with labor standards ensures that workers' rights are respected at every production stage. Globalization has made supply chain management critical for upholding workers' rights internationally.
13. Economic Migration
Economic migration occurs when individuals move for better employment opportunities. This movement can lead to various workers' rights challenges, such as labor market integration and rights protection in host countries.
15. Automation and Future of Work
Automation threatens traditional employment structures. The global push for efficiency could lead to job displacement, posing challenges to workers' rights in the transition to new kinds of labor.
3. Child Labor
Child labor involves underage children in employment. It is a significant global issue, especially in manufacturing and agriculture, and efforts are made to eliminate it under various international agreements.
5. Occupational Safety and Health (OSH)
OSH standards ensure safe and healthy working conditions. In a globalized economy, varying standards can affect competitiveness and worker safety in different countries.
2. Living Wage
A living wage is a salary that covers a worker's basic needs, allowing them to live a decent life. This concept impacts global labor markets by pushing for wages that reflect local costs of living.
7. Precarious Employment
Precarious employment refers to insecure and unprotected jobs. Globalization often leads to a rise in such jobs, causing instability for workers and challenging traditional labor protections.
9. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
CSR is a self-regulating business model where companies incorporate social and environmental concerns in their operations. It is a way for corporations to self-impose standards for workers' rights globally.
14. Right to Rest and Leisure
The right to rest and leisure, including reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic holidays with pay, is often compromised in the global economy due to competition and labor exploitation.
1. Fair Trade
Fair Trade aims to support farmers and workers in developing countries by ensuring fair prices, decent working conditions, and a fairer deal for farmers and workers.
6. Workers' Right to Organize
This right is fundamental for workers to form and join trade unions to protect their interests. Globalization pressures can undermine this right through labor flexibility and anti-union policies in some regions.
4. Trade Unions
Trade unions advocate for workers' rights and better working conditions. They face challenges in globalization due to variance in labor laws across countries and the threat of outsourced jobs to non-unionized regions.
8. Migrant Workers
Migrant workers often face exploitation and discrimination, working under substandard conditions. Globalization has increased worker migration, which necessitates international cooperation to protect their rights.
