Social Dumping

Social dumping in Global Commerce Policy

In this regard, social dumping is: an imprecise term for actions assumed to occur when goods produced by prison or sweated labour are exported at very low prices. The entries on trade policy are here. It was one of the putative categories of dumping identified by some participants in the Havana Charter negotiations. No rules were drafted for this type of alleged dumping, and it is not an accepted trade policy concept. The GATT contains a general exception in Article XX(e) covering goods made by prison labour. More recently, the term “social dumping” has also been used for products allegedly produced and exported under conditions that do not reflect standards, other than technical ones, prevailing in developed economies. See also dumping, pauper-labour argument, social clause, trade and labour standards and workers rights.[1]
