Import barriers, Social and labour standards, Backwardness, Public aidAbstract
The use of import barriers against low-cost manufactures by developing countries, as a tool to force them to adopt better social and labor standards, is politically unfeasible and may indeed induce more poverty and backwardness. Similarly these imports barriers as a defence of unskilled workers’ income in rich countries is both ineffective and contrary to a proper path of dynamic comparative advantages. Some public aid conditionally may be helpful in encouraging the adoption of better social standards in recipient countries.
