The lessons from trade agreements for just transition policies/

Altintzis, Georgios

The lessons from trade agreements for just transition policies/ created by Georgios Altintzis and Esther Busser - International journal of labour research Volume 6, number 2 .

This article looks at the experiences of countries with trade liberalization and related adjustment processes so as to draw lessons for a just transition agenda. Like the transition to a low-carbon economy, trade liberalization can have severe impacts on societies. Most notably, it has had impacts on employment levels (both job creation and job destruction), the quality of employment (wages and working conditions, precarious work and subcontracting) and production structures (specialization patterns), and it has also had social impacts (unemployment and reallocation of jobs).
