Condition of Cambodian garment workers improves: ILO
Cambodia has seen remarkable improvements in labour standards in the garment and footwear industry, according to a recent International Labour Organisation (ILO)report. The total number of violations on 21 critical issues fell from 811 in 2014 to 631 this year, the report covering 464 factories found. However, not all areas have shown progress, the report noted.
Over the same time, the proportion of factories in compliance with all publicly reported issues rose from 32 percent to 41 percent, a news agency reported citing an ILO Better Factories Cambodia Program press release.
While critical issues related to emergency preparedness, discrimination, child labour and payment of wages and allowances have shown steady gains, other areas are stable and some have declined in rates of compliance, the report said.
Garment and footwear industry is the largest foreign exchange earner for the Southeast Asian nation. The industry consists of about 1,100 factories with more than 740,000 workers, mostly females.

柬埔寨服装工人的状况有所改善
根据国际劳工组织(ILO)最近的一份报告,柬埔寨服装和制鞋业的劳工标准有了显著改善。这份涵盖464家工厂的报告发现,涉及21个关键问题的违规行为总数从2014年的811起下降到今年的631起。然而,报告指出,并非所有领域都取得了进展。
与此同时,符合所有公开报道问题的工厂比例从32%上升到41%,一家新闻机构援引国际劳工组织对柬埔寨工厂改善项目的新闻稿称。
报告称,应急准备、歧视、童工和工资及津贴支付相关的关键问题出现了稳步增长,其他领域也很稳定,但是一些领域的合规率有所下降。
服装和制鞋业是这个东南亚国家最大的外汇收入来源。该行业由1100家工厂组成,拥有74万多名工人,其中大部分是女性。
