World Economic Forum Growth Summit - Trade & Labour Meeting

The Trade and Labour programme convenes a multi-stakeholder community to assess and propose improvements to trade policies and practices that affect workers and businesses in international supply chains. This meeting of the community and special guests discusses how trade policies, domestic legislation and private sector initiatives work in practice, identifies gaps and proposes solutions.
