Fairtrade and Labour Markets in Ethiopia and Uganda
基于埃塞俄比亚和乌干达四年的田野调查，研究发现公平贸易主导地区的工人薪酬和工作条件较差，表明公平贸易并非改善最贫困农村人口福利的有效途径。
Drawing on four years of fieldwork in Ethiopia and Uganda, this paper addresses gaps in knowledge about the mechanisms linking agricultural exports with poverty reduction, the functioning of rural labour markets, and the relevance to the lives of the poorest people of Fairtrade. Statistical analysis of survey evidence, complemented by qualitative research, highlights the relatively poor payment and non-pay working conditions of those employed in research sites dominated by Fairtrade producer organisations. We conclude that Fairtrade is not an effective way to improve the welfare of the poorest rural people.
