Standards set by unions tend to increase output and welfare. There are no unions in the South and work standards are suboptimal. Trade between these two countries can imply a reduction in work standards in the North. Moreover, when trade unions are established in the South, the North, including northern unions, tends to lose out. Quantitatively, these effects are small and overcompensated for by gains in the South. The existing empirical literature tends to support our findings.\n\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","jelcode":[155,51,953,954],"keyword":[20,955,836,560],"class_list":["post-1668","publication","type-publication","status-publish","hentry","jelcode-f16","jelcode-f21","jelcode-j151","jelcode-j81","keyword-international-trade","keyword-occupational-health-and-safety","keyword-trade-unions","keyword-welfare"],"acf":{"year":2010,"month":11,"day":"","volume":"","number":"059","pages":43,"reviewed":"0","citeid":"FIW_WP_059","fiwseries":"FIW Working Papers","event":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How Bad is Globalization for Labour Standards in the North? - FIW<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fiw.ac.at\/en\/publications\/how-bad-is-globalization-for-labour-standards-in-the-north\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"How Bad is Globalization for Labour Standards in the North? - FIW\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"We analyse a world consisting of \u2019the North\u2019 and \u2019the South\u2019 where labour standards in the North are set by trade unions.
