The ‘Singapore scenario’: the uncertain prospects for labour standards in post‐Brexit Britain
本文分析了英国脱欧后劳动标准可能被侵蚀的风险,指出保守党和工党虽声称保护劳动标准,但脱欧可能引发全球“逐底竞争”,导致劳动标准下降。
Abstract The Conservative government of Theresa May asserted that labour standards would be preserved post‐Brexit. The Labour Party also privileged labour standards in its anti‐austerity programme. The threat remains however that Brexit will provide an incentive to erode labour standards in a global ‘race to the bottom’ in a ‘Singapore scenario’.
