The Social Footprints of Global Trade

Beschreibung

This book discussing in detail the Social Life Cycle Assessment (SLCA) of the global economy using the comprehensive Multi-Regional Input-Output (MRIO) technique. 
The content is presented in two parts, the first of which offers an introduction to social accounting and how it has been developed over the past few years with details on the methodologies and databases used. The second part of the book describes the footprints of the social accounts that have the highest impact on people’s well-being (employment, income, working conditions,and inequality) and how they are linked to international trade. The need for reporting on such indicators falls within the purview of corporate/national social responsibility (part of the Triple Bottom Line). The book offers a valuable contribution to the literature for researchers and students engaged in the social sciences, human rights, and the implications of international trade on labour in developing countries.iv>

“The book under review is concerned with analyzing some of the less studied but salient effects of international trade between nations, particularly the effects of such trade on workers in developing nations. … the book’s authors present several interesting ideas about inequality, broadly construed, and the ways in which policy makers might address the myriad problems resulting from the persistence of inequality, both within and among nations.” (Amitrajeet A. Batabyal, Interfaces, Vol. 47 (5), October, 2017)
