BETTER WORK COUNTRY PROGRAMMES
Compliance Syntesis Reports
http://www.betterwork.org/EN/Publications/Pages/ComplianceSynthesisReports.aspx
Better Work country programmes regularly issue public reports on labour compliance performance. Evidence shows that public reporting significantly contributes to continuous improvement.* Better Work compliance synthesis reports contain aggregated compliance data on all participating factories in a country programme, regardless of when factories joined. Factories that have participated in Better Work for at least one full cycle of services - including an assessment, advisory services and a follow-up assessment - will be named in the synthesis reports along with key non-compliance findings.
Academic Papers and Research
http://www.betterwork.org/EN/Publications/Pages/AcademicPapersandResearch.aspx
Better Work publishes rigorous research and academic papers that inform its strategy and policy decisions. The Better Work Discussion Paper Series is an original, peer-reviewed series that presents rigorous, work-in-progress research material for comment and feedback. Better Work Discussion Papers are addressed to researchers, policymakers and development practitioners to generate comments and encourage discussion.
