Abstract
This chapter presents an overview of the multiple influences of global value chains (GVCs) on labour markets and employment in both developed and emerging economies. The chapter summarizes key trends associated with GVCs in this concern by briefly discussing labour market polarization as well as wage structure and dynamics. This discussion further touches briefly upon specific issues faced by high-skilled, medium-skilled, and low-skilled labour due to GVCs’ prominence and their restructuring. Finally, as a practical example linked to this chapter, the chapter presents an analysis of electronic manufacturing GVCs in China and East Asia.
