Decent Work Supply Chain Survey (DW-SCS) – Pilot on the electronics supply chain in Viet Nam
Overview
The DW-SCS pilot aimed to map the electronics supply chain and measure decent work along the chain in Viet Nam. The survey was designed to identify decent work deficits and opportunities across different tiers of supply chains, creating more granular data on gender, age groups, geography, and formal and informal sectors. This information would then inform policy and facilitate targeted policy responses. The method relied on an innovative sampling design beginning with economic units unequivocally part of the supply chain, then reaching other units through links within the supply chain.
