Kurzbeschreibung:
It seems to be widely presumed that working conditions and wages in European fashion
production are better than in Asia. The Clean Clothes Campaign has already questioned this
notion in its 2014 report Stitched up where we found out that the gap between the minimum
and actual wages of workers and an estimated minimum living wage tends to be bigger in Europe
than in Asia. In Europe-East/South it is found a comparatively low level of unionization in general
and in particular in the garment industry.
This paper summarizes and concludes discussions that the CCC’s European Production Focus Group
(Europe-East/South Group) has had in numerous meetings and calls since 2014. The intention has
been to find a methodology for a cross-border base living wage benchmark for European garment
production countries.
