Worker voice tools can support multinational companies to monitor social compliance within complex multi-tier apparel supply chains. This study presents findings from an adaptation of a worker voice tool that contacted 11,555 workers in two informal ‘Ready-made Garment’ (RMG) production hubs in Bangladesh. Results indicate a high level of child labour, particularly among boys, and present characteristics of exploitative working conditions. The authors also share challenges in facilitating support services for identified child labourers. This study informs multi-sectoral strategies for business adherence to sustainable supply chain management, and government commitment to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8 for Decent Work and Economic Growth.

在孟加拉国非正式成衣工厂提高知名度和支持儿童的挑战

工人语音工具可以支持跨国公司监控复杂的多层服装供应链中的社会合规性。本研究展示了对工人语音工具进行改编后的发现，该工具联系了孟加拉国两个非正式“成衣”(RMG) 生产中心的 11,555 名工人。结果表明，童工的比例很高，尤其是男童，并且存在剥削性工作条件的特征。作者还分享了在为已确定的童工提供支持服务方面面临的挑战。这项研究为企业遵守可持续供应链管理以及政府对可持续发展目标 (SDG) 8 的体面工作和经济增长的承诺提供了多部门战略。
