Trade and inequality: Australia's textile, clothing, and footwear industries, 1986-1996
分析1980年代中期澳大利亚削减纺织、服装和鞋类产业保护后,全球商品链重组如何导致该行业内部职业不平等加剧,包括生产岗位流失、外包增加以及按年龄、性别和种族分化的劳动力结构调整。
<?Pub Caret> Beginning in the mid 1980s, the Australian government cut protection of the Australian textile, clothing, and footwear sector, while the global TCF industry was embracing a new form of organization, the commodity chain. Some Australian TCF producers were forced out of business, but others followed a variety of strategies, thereby restructuring the TCF labour force. In a process structured by age, gender, and ethnicity, skilled and semi&hyphen;skilled production jobs have been lost, partially replaced by jobs in design, marketing, and management. Factory jobs in Australia have been replaced by outwork in Australia and factory jobs in the Pacific Rim. These restructurings have contributed to increased occupational inequality within theTCF sector.
