Abstract: Abstract In the last decades the world economy has transformed, becoming more global (Elms and Low 2013). One of the key characteristics of the modern global economy is the increasing fragmentation of production, used to lower costs and increase productivity, competitiveness and thus profitability. This is leading to a growing importance of global supply chains. As a result, a growing share of global employment is related to supply chains. The World Employment Social Outlook (WESO) published by the ILO (2015) estimates for a sample of 40 countries that one in five jobs can be linked to global supply chains (ILO 2015).
