This publication presents a characterization of the value chain of the garment sector in Argentina, focusing on the main deficits in decent work and potential risks of forced labor or other violations of labor rights. The report presents the evolution of the recent history of working conditions in the Argentine garment industry, to then identify and characterize the different actors in the chain and their relationship in the different processes and activities. The focus is on the main deficits - in terms of decent work - in the different links, as well as on the main sources of informal marketing.

This is a product made from the Evidence for Action project: Increasing the impact of research to mobilize efforts against forced labor in the garment sector of Madagascar and Argentina, implemented by the ILO, in conjunction with Verité and NORC, with funding from the United States Department of Labor. This project aims to promote greater use of research in policy and programmatic decision-making to help eliminate forced labor worldwide. The project seeks to increase knowledge through robust research in the garment sector and, based on this, mobilize decision-makers and stakeholders to take action against rights violations.
