Global Production System, Textile Industry and Wage Disparity: Evidence from South India
Keyword(s):
This article discusses the root causes of wage disparity in the textile industry. The study argues that wage disparity arises through direct and indirect approaches. Both create pressure on suppliers and leads to low wage payment, depriving workers of social security benefits, unpaid holidays and leaves. Hyper-consumerism, free on board (FoB) price, and flexibility have created competition among suppliers and other stakeholders. Suppliers flexibilise rules and re-organise work arrangements to meet on-time production by increasing working hours, introducing wage penalty, strict supervising, and increasing surveillance.
