International trade and core labour standards

In 1996, the OECD published a pioneering study entitled 'Trade, Employment and Labour Standards: A Study of Core Workers' Rights and International Trade' which was instrumental in helping foster a high degree of international political consensus about the definition of a limited set of core labour standards. Since the 1996 OECD study, there have been wide-ranging developments, at the national and international levels, bearing on the question of trade, employment and core labour standards.
