The report is organized around a metaphor =E2= =80=93 the classical economic metaphor of =E2=80=98supply and demand=E2=80= =99. Within mainstream economic theory, the price of any particular good is= not determined by the individuals who buy and sell it. Instead, the price = results from a system-wide balance between how much of it is available in t= he world (supply), how many people want it, and how badly (demand). T= he report looks at eight of these dynamics: four relating to supply and fou= r relating to demand. On the supply side, the four dynamics the report look= s at all contribute to creating a pool of workers vulnerable to exploitatio= n. These include: poverty; identity and discrimination; limited labour prot= ections and restrictive mobility regimes. The demand side includes: concent= rated corporate power and ownership; outsourcing; irresponsible sourcing pr= actices; and governance gaps. |
