      Selwyn criticises the World Bank's poverty measure on several counts: - far too low; not a 'living wage'; - ignores the back-breaking, dangerous work people do to get income; - neglects variation in public provision of healthcare & education; - excludes non-$ aspects of poverty.

      So, while World Bank & co. champion manufacturing, export-led industrialisation, & economic integration, Selywyn highlights that such workers endure poverty wages, incredibly long work days, harassment, abuse, tight surveillance, dangerous work - e.g. mass faintings in Cambodiapic.twitter.com/O65W2In8qe

      Personally, I think that table is a bit dated. To show broad agreement about who benefits, let's use this one instead. It's from the World Bank's 2017 report on manufacturing. [which I reviewed here: https://twitter.com/_alice_evans/status/921803303599661056 …]pic.twitter.com/JxugqFIsVH

      The breakdowns of value chain into percentage value add sections (for melons,Apple etc..) don’t tell us if individuals are better or worse off through involvement in GVCs though

      So we have evidence that: - extreme poverty is falling, partly due to globalisation; - $10/day poverty has also fallen over the past 50 years, tho not in the past decade (i don't know how this relates to globalisation); - global value chains are marked by poverty wages.

      Question says “do workers benefit from incorporation in GVCS?” - melons, Apple & smile chart don’t answer this.

          The charts show how much of the GVC goes to workers. They do not show benefits relative to no integration, or relative to integration on better terms. Nor (environmental/ health) costs.

          Right. The question “do workers benefit” seems the fundamental one to answer.
