abstract: 'Motivation The COVID-19 pandemic has massively disrupted international
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
trade and global value chains. Impacts, however, differ across regions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and industries. This article contributes to a better understanding of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the scale of disruptions to industries and value chains integral to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
economies of and livelihoods in developing countries, and what role
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policy can play to mitigate harm.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Purpose This article aims to: (1) analyse and characterize disruptions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to the global apparel value chain caused by the COVID-19 pandemic,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
focusing on how developing countries have been impacted, and; (2)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
identify key policies to support a resilient, inclusive and sustainable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
recovery.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Approach and methods We review COVID-19 related reports published by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
international and non-governmental organizations, international trade
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and production statistics, industry surveys and media reports. We frame
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
our analysis predominantly within the Global Value Chains literature.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Findings The global apparel value chain has been severely disrupted by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the pandemic, owing to direct effects of sickness on workers in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
factories, reduced output of materials-cloth, thread, etc.-used to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fabricate clothing, and to reduced demand for apparel in high-income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
countries. Developing countries are suffering disproportionately in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
terms of profits, wages, job security and job safety. Women workers in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the apparel chain have been hit especially hard, not only because most
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
workers in the chain are women, but also because they have experienced
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increasing unpaid care work and higher risk of gender-based violence.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Policy implications Five key areas of policy to support a resilient,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inclusive and sustainable recovery stand out: (1) delivering emergency
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
responses to ensure firm survival and the protection of workers''
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
livelihoods; (2) reformulating FDI attraction strategies and promoting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
market diversification; (3) supporting technology adoption and skills
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
development; (4) deploying labour standards to improve workers''
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conditions and strengthening social protection systems; and (5) adopting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender-sensitive responses.'
