Minimum wages in the global garment industry:
Update for 2015
By Matthew Cowgill; Malte Luebker; Cuntao Xia | ILO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific | cowgill@ilo.org
This research note compares minimum wage levels
for garment workers across major apparel-exporting
middle and low income economies for 2015. (...) Together, the
20 included countries accounted for almost two-thirds of
global garment exports in 2014. All of these countries have
minimum wages that apply to garment workers.
(...) For countries with a large number of minimum wage rates,
Table 1 includes only the most representative rates applied
to garment workers, such as by including only the provinces
where most garment manufacturing is located.
