发展中国家生产者面临的一个重大挑战是达到国际劳工标准和行为守则，以便参与全球价值链。这是工人从遵守standardsandcodesremainslimitedandpatchy.Thisarticlefocusesontheglobal足球行业中获益的证据，该行业由管理分散的全球价值链的领先全球品牌主导。它评估了巴基斯坦、印度和中国在不同形式的工作组织、工厂、缝纫中心和家庭环境中从事足球缝纫工的工作条件。它借鉴了对这三个国家的足球缝纫工人和生产商进行的详细的定性初级实地研究。这篇文章通过一个交织了影响工作条件的全球和当地生产环境的分析框架，解释了足球缝纫机在这些地点的工作条件如何以及为什么不同。为此，它认为，目前关于劳工在全球价值链中的作用的辩论必须超越对劳工标准和遵守公司社会责任的狭隘关注，并将经济、技术和社会升级作为可持续改善实际工资和工人条件的因素。
A critical challenge facing developing country producers is to meet international labour standards and codes of conduct in order to engage in global value chains. Evidence of gains for workers from compliance with such standardsandcodesremainslimitedandpatchy.Thisarticlefocusesontheglobal football industry, a sector dominated by leading global brands that manage dispersed global value chains. It assesses the working conditions for football stitchers engaged in different forms of work organization, factories, stitching centres and home-based settings in Pakistan, India and China. It draws on detailed qualitative primary field research with football-stitching workers and producers in these three countries. The article explains how and why work conditions of football stitchers differ across these locations through an analytical framework that interweaves both global and local production contexts that influence work conditions. In doing so, it argues that current debates on the role of labour in global value chains have to go beyond a narrow focus on labour standards and corporate social responsibility compliance and engage with economic, technological and social upgrading as factors that could generate sustained improvements in real wages and workers’ conditions.
