Right. The question “do workers benefit” seems the fundamental one to answer.
Agreed there is non compliance. But even 80% of minimum wage in most apparel exporting countries is above the $10 PPP line. Would be wrong to think of involvement in GVCs in this sector as trapping below this poverty line

Also, Maya, workers have dependents. Even if a worker is earning $10.01, no poverty analysis would put them as above the >$10/ day poverty line. We'd recognise that they'd divide their income with their family.
