Global Value Chains (GVCs) connect consumers in developed countries with workers in developing countries. Working conditions for workers in developing countries are often poor, and finding ways to improve wages and working conditions is a policy priority for companies, governments, non-government organization (NGOs), and other stakeholders. The regulatory push to improve working conditions in supply chains tells corporations what to do, but not how to do it. Finding specific policies that change the incentives factories face surrounding compliance is a policy priority. Factory-level transparency alters incentives and leads to improved working conditions.
