Leaders from the corporate sector, academia, civil society and the media exchange ideas about the treatment of workers in developing countries. As outsourcing of labor-intensive production from rich to developing countries grows, controversy also grows over how best to ensure that employees are treated with respect and dignity, and receive a fair and reasonable wage for their labor. Is this the responsibility of the corporations accountable for outsourcing? Can they assume responsibilities that local governments choose not to? The panel covered these and related topics.
