Welcome back to Global Social Problems. I am your instructor, Dr. Beverly Yuen Thompson. In this video, we continue to Chapter Two: Work and Trade: The Global Assembly Line. This video overviews the global perspectives on how labor is divided regionally and the impacts this has on the people performing in these various employment capacities. It points to the need for regulation and policy of global labor practices to ensure the integrity of human and labor rights.
