Title: | Sub-Contracting, Small-Batch Production and Home-Based Women Workers | Contributor(s): | Wright, Denis Arthur (author) | Publication Date: | 2004 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/1783 | Abstract: | The practice of sub-contracting in industry has grown markedly as a tool of production in global commodity chains over the past 30 years. The reasons include: the portability of multinational corporations’ operations, consistent with economic globalization; cross-border production networks associated with cost-cutting benefits for manufacturers and entrepreneurs; and the demand for flexibility in production output. Sub-contracting arrangements are also associated with avoidance of national and international regulations, particularly as they relate to labour standards. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | Women Workers in Industrialising Asia: Costed, Not Valued, p. 129-148 | Publisher: | Palgrave Macmillan | Place of Publication: | Basingstoke, United Kingdom | ISBN: | 0333962931 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 210302 Asian History | HERDC Category Description: | B1 Chapter in a Scholarly Book | Publisher/associated links: | http://us.macmillan.com/womenworkersinindustrialisingasia | Series Name: | Studies in the Economies of East and South-East Asia | Editor: | Editor(s): Kaur, Amarjit |
