Workers employed by Ethiopia's emerging garment industry are paid an average monthly wage of 26 dollars, the lowest in the world, a new study revealed.
The nascent apparel manufacturing sector, hosting international brands from GAP to GUESS and Levi, is thriving in Ethiopia inside the Hawassa Industrial Park, one of the five opened in 2014. No less than 25,000 workers are employed there but managed by expats from South East Asia, where cultural tensions are emerging, warns the report released by Stern Centre for Business & Human Rights, underbthe New York University (NYU).
"The foreign based suppliers have encountered employees who are unhappy with their compensation and living conditions, and increasingly willing to protest by stopping work or even quitting," says Paul Barrett, deputy director of the centre.
