Abstract
The chapters in this volume have demonstrated in various ways that the globalization of the apparel industry, and its increasing organization through global value chains, has enormous consequences for the kind of jobs and conditions of work being produced in different countries. This concluding chapter summarizes some key findings about the quality of jobs and on-going challenges facing decent work, the changing roles of private and public governance, and the specific effects of the Better Work programme. Policy recommendations emerging from the chapters are outlined and some directions for future research in this field are identified.
