Labor Issues in the Global Supply Chain: An Indian Perspective

Recent debates in the International Labor Organization (ILO) on improvement of labor standards in the global supply chain indicate the questionable implementation of existing mechanisms. India is one of those nations which gathered buyers for its existing producers and established new supplier firms. One fifth of the global workforce has been employed in the supply chain network, which requires local and global authorities to address their issues. This paper examines the matter to trace current difficulties in terms of labor standards, governance structure and the role of labor legislations in the Indian context.
