Country of the Week

With its 7,112,688 people, Hong Kong is the 101st largest country in the world by population. It is the 179th largest country in the world by area with 1,104 square kilometers.

Occupied by the UK in 1841, Hong Kong was formally ceded by China the following year; various adjacent lands were added later in the 19th century. Pursuant to an agreement signed by China and the UK on 19 December 1984, Hong Kong became the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) of the People's Republic of China on 1 July 1997. In this agreement, China promised that, under its "one country, two systems" formula, China's socialist economic system would not be imposed on Hong Kong and that Hong Kong would enjoy a "high degree of autonomy" in all matters except foreign and defense affairs for the subsequent 50 years.

Progress towards achieving SDG8 has been challenging and the world is far from reaching most of the targets. The lingering effects of COVID-19, cost-of-living crises, trade tensions, uncertain monetary policy paths, rising debts in developing countries, and the war in Ukraine can each significantly set back global economic growth. Combined, these crises are placing the global economy under a serious threat. Global real GDP per capita is forecast to slow down in 2023, putting at risk not just employment and income but also advances in equitable pay for women and decent work for young people. Achieving SDG8 will require a wholesale reform of our morally bankrupt financial system in order to tackle rising debts, economic uncertainties and trade tensions, while promoting equitable pay and decent work for young people.

* Target 8.1: Following a sharp decline of 4.1% in 2020, global real GDP per capita increased by 5.0% in 2021. However, growth in global real GDP per capita is forecast to slow down to 2.1% in 2022 and further to 1.0% in 2023, before recovering somewhat to a growth rate of 1.8% in 2024. The growth in real GDP of LDCs slowed down from 5% in 2019 to just 0.2% in 2020 before recovering to 2.6% in 2021. It is expected that the growth in real GDP of LDCs would strengthen to 4.3% in 2022 and to 4.4% and 5.4% in 2023 and 2024, respectively.
* Target 8.2: After a sharp decline in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, labour productivity rebounded in 2021 by 2.4%. Productivity growth slowed in 2022, increasing by only 0.5%. However, even before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, productivity growth had been slowing around the world. The latest estimates extend the downward growth trend, from an average annual rate of 1.8% between 2000-14 to 1.4% between 2015-22.
* Target 8.3: Globally, 58.0% of those employed were in informal employment in 2022, amounting to around 2 billion workers in precarious jobs, most lacking any form of social protection. Prior to the onset of the pandemic, the incidence of informal employment had been slowly declining and stood at 57.8% in 2019. The pandemic resulted in a disproportionate job loss for informal workers, particularly for women, in 2020. The subsequent recovery from COVID-19 has been driven by informal employment, which has caused a slight increase in the incidence of informality.
* Target 8.5: Equal treatment in employment, including fair and equitable earnings, is fundamental for achieving decent work for all. The median gender pay gap across 102 countries is approximately 14%. However, this calculation is only based on average hourly earnings, thus not controlling for characteristics such as the sector or occupation, educational level or amount of work experience.
* Target 8.5: The global unemployment rate declined significantly in 2022, falling to 5.8% from a peak of 6.9% in 2020 as economies began recovering from the shock of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite an uncertain global economic outlook, unemployment is projected to increase only moderately, as a large part of the shock is being absorbed by falling real wages in an environment of accelerating inflation. Global unemployment is projected to edge up slightly in 2023, by around 3 million, to reach 208 million, corresponding to an unemployment rate of 5.8%.
* Target 8.6: Globally, nearly one in four (23.5%) young people were not in education, employment, or training (NEET) in 2022. Although this is a slight decrease since 2020, when the NEET rate was at an all-time high, it remains above the 2015 baseline of 22.2% and a long way from the 2030 target.
* Target 8.7: The latest estimates indicate that the number of children in child labour rose to 160 million worldwide at the beginning of 2020 - an increase of 8.4 million children in the last four years. This translates to almost 1 in 10 of all children in child labour worldwide.
* Target 8.9: The share of tourism in global GDP nearly halved in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2021 data shows a very modest 6% upturn, indicating that tourism's economic contribution is on the path to recovery.
* Target 8.10: Accelerated adoption of digital solutions is transforming access to finance. Globally, in 2021, 76% of adults had an account at a bank or regulated institution such as a credit union, microfinance institution, or a mobile money service provider, an increase from 62% in 2014.

Both socialism and communism are essentially economic philosophies advocating public rather than private ownership, especially of the means of production, distribution and exchange of goods (i.e., making money) in a society. Both aim to fix the problems they see as created by a free-market capitalist system, including the exploitation of workers and a widening gulf between rich and poor.

But while socialism and communism share some basic similarities, there are also important differences between them.

Karl Marx and the Origins of Communism

Socialism emerged in response to the extreme economic and social changes caused by the Industrial Revolution, and particularly the struggles of workers. Many workers grew increasingly poor even as factory owners and other industrialists accrued massive wealth.

In the first half of the 19th century, early socialist thinkers like Henri de Saint-Simon, Robert Owen and Charles Fourier presented their own models for reorganizing society along the lines of cooperation and community, rather than the competition inherent in capitalism, where the free market controlled the supply and demand of goods.

Then came Karl Marx, the German political philosopher and economist who would become one of the most influential socialist thinkers in history. With his collaborator Friedrich Engels, Marx published The Communist Manifesto in 1848, which included a chapter criticizing those earlier socialist models as utterly unrealistic "utopian" dreams.

Marx argued that all history was a history of class struggles, and that the working class (or proletariat) would inevitably triumph over the capital class (bourgeoisie) and win control over the means of production, forever erasing all classes.

Communism, sometimes referred to as revolutionary socialism, also originated as a reaction to the Industrial Revolution, and came to be defined by Marx's theories-taken to their extreme end. In fact, Marxists often refer to socialism as the first, necessary phase on the way from capitalism to communism. Marx and Engels themselves didn't consistently or clearly differentiate communism from socialism, which helped ensure lasting confusion between the two terms.

Key Differences Between Communism and Socialism

Under communism, there is no such thing as private property. All property is communally owned, and each person receives a portion based on what they need. A strong central government-the state-controls all aspects of economic production, and provides citizens with their basic necessities, including food, housing, medical care and education.

By contrast, under socialism, individuals can still own property. But industrial production, or the chief means of generating wealth, is communally owned and managed by a democratically elected government.

Another key difference in socialism versus communism is the means of achieving them. In communism, a violent revolution in which the workers rise up against the middle and upper classes is seen as an inevitable part of achieving a pure communist state. Socialism is a less rigid, more flexible ideology. Its adherents seek change and reform, but often insist on making these changes through democratic processes within the existing social and political structure, not overthrowing that structure.

In his 1875 writing, Critique of the Gotha Program, Marx summarized the communist philosophy in this way: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." By contrast, socialism is based on the idea that people will be compensated based on their level of individual contribution to the economy.

Unlike in communism, a socialist economic system rewards individual effort and innovation. Social democracy, the most common form of modern socialism, focuses on achieving social reforms and redistribution of wealth through democratic processes, and can co-exist alongside a free-market capitalist economy.

Socialism and Communism in Practice

Led by Vladimir Lenin, the Bolsheviks put Marxist theory into practice with the Russian Revolution of 1917, which led to the creation of the world's first communist government. Communism existed in the Soviet Union until its fall in 1991.

Today, communism and socialism exist in China, Cuba, North Korea, Laos and Vietnam-although in reality, a purely communist state has never existed. Such countries can be classified as communist because in all of them, the central government controls all aspects of the economic and political system. But none of them have achieved the elimination of personal property, money or class systems that the communist ideology requires.

Likewise, no country in history has achieved a state of pure socialism. Even countries that are considered by some people to be socialist states, like Norway, Sweden and Denmark, have successful capitalist sectors and follow policies that are largely aligned with social democracy. Many European and Latin American countries have adopted socialist programs (such as free college tuition, universal health care and subsidized child care) and even elected socialist leaders, with varying levels of success.

In the United States, socialism has not historically enjoyed as much success as a political movement. Its peak came in 1912, when Socialist Party presidential candidate Eugene V. Debs won 6 percent of the vote. But at the same time, U.S. programs once considered socialist, such as Medicare and Social Security, have been integrated into American life.

What Is Democratic Socialism?

Democratic socialism, a growing U.S. political movement in recent years, lands somewhere in between social democracy and communism. Like communists, democratic socialists believe workers should control the bulk of the means of production, and not be subjected to the will of the free market and the capitalist classes. But they believe their vision of socialism must be achieved through democratic processes, rather than revolution.

Consumer shopping behaviors have shifted radically in response to the pandemic, higher prices, and low inventory from shipping and manufacturing strains. In turn, brands have responded with rapid digital transformation to meet the changing needs of today's shoppers.

As you consider your marketing strategies in 2022, here's a look at 25 stats on the state of consumer shopping today so you can better understand how consumers are shopping and which channels they are using.

Consumers & Online Shopping Trends in 2022

Online shopping has become a lifestyle - and continues to grow at exponential rates. The pandemic may have accelerated the rate of online shopping, but the ease of researching, buying, shipping and the huge availability of options that both small retailers to large brands offer is keeping consumers content as they peruse and spend via online channels.

1. In fact, in a report by Stackla, 67 percent of consumers said their online purchasing increased since the start of the pandemic and 27 percent of people said their online shopping has increased a lot. (Stackla, 2021)

2. Additionally, consumers plan to maintain these online shopping habits with 91 percent saying they're likely to continue purchasing more items online in the future-and 52 percent saying they're very likely to do so. (Stackla, 2021)

3. The survey also revealed that 59 percent of consumers reported having purchased from new brands since the pandemic started-75 percent of which say they're likely to continue purchasing from those new brands in the future. (Stackla, 2021)

1. Similiar research findings also show the lack of brand loyalty as consumers switch physically purchased brands with online competitors. 48.7% of respondents have "replaced products [they] previously purchased regularly at physical stores with online...alternatives". (Raydiant, 2021)

2. Consumers also like hybrid options of online and in-store shopping such as curbside pickup or Buy Online Pickup in Store (BOPIS). For example, Millennials were 42% more likely to express interest in curbside pickup than Boomers, and more than 50% likely (53%) to express interest in BOPIS than Boomers.

Brick and Mortar

Despite the rapid growth of ecommerce, many consumers still prefer to shop in stores.

1. In a survey by Raydiant, 46% of respondents said that given the choice, they prefer to shop in person rather than online. (Raydiant, 2021)

2. Customers also prefer the experience of interacting directly with products.33% of respondents prefer shopping at physical stores because they like to see and feel products, while 26% enjoy the overall experience of shopping in person. (Raydiant, 2021)

3. The good news is that brands are improving the offline experience. 29.8% of respondents said in-location customer service has gotten better in the past year. (Raydiant, 2021)

4. And these positive offline experiences can make a difference. 90% of consumers say they are more likely to return again, 61% of consumers say they are likely to spend more at a location and 65% of consumers say they are likely to spend more online with a brand - all if they have a positive offline experience. (Raydiant, 2021)

Customer Experience

Customer experience had long been a concept on which brands must compete, but in today's changing environment and with consumers switching brands more frequently, brands must ramp up their strategies to make the customer experience a true competitive differentiator.

1. 80% of customers say the experience a company provides is as important as its products and services. Expectations for the customer experience have never been higher - to acquire new customers, retailers need to meet them. (Salesforce)

2. The overwhelming majority of consumers (88 percent) say authenticity is important when deciding which brands they like and support-with 50 percent saying authenticity is very important to them. (Stackla, 2021)

3. In a PwC study, about two-thirds (65%) of respondents in the US feel that a positive experience with a brand is more influential than great advertising. Unfortunately, only half (49%) say that companies are providing a good customer experience today. (PwC)

4. A moderate improvement in CX would impact the revenue of a typical $1 billion company an average of $775 million over three years. (Temkin Group)

5. 67% of consumers and 74% of business buyers say they'll pay more for a great experience. (Salesforce)

6. Organizations that lead in CX outperformed laggards on the S&P 500 index by nearly 80%. They retain a higher share of wallet and have customers that are seven times more likely to purchase more from the company, eight times more likely to try other products or services, and fifteen times more likely to spread positive word of mouth. (Qualtrics)

Social Commerce

Social shopping, or social commerce, is the coming together of online shopping and social media channels such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest. Social channels have integrated seamless shopping and purchase functionality into their platforms, making it easier for brands to sell on social networks. Social commerce attracted investment from US companies at the start of the pandemic, in addition to online and mobile commerce.

1. 8 in 10 ten US businesses anticipate selling on social media within the next three years. (Statista, 2021)

2. The number of US social commerce buyers grew to 80.1 million in 2020 and is anticipated to increase to 96.1 million in 2022. (eMarketer, 2021)

3. According to data compiled by Big Commerce, focusing on the US market, 30 percent of online shoppers would be likely to make a purchase through a social media network. Among millennials, this proportion increases to 51%. (Big Commerce)

4. Almost three out of ten consumers (29%) would be likely to follow a brand on Facebook, while 20 percent would be likely to make a purchase from the social network. (Big Commerce)

5. According to statistics from Pinterest itself, 73 percent of users believe content from brands makes the platform more useful, while 61 percent have made a purchase after seeing business content on the site. (Pinterest)

6. 88% of online customers are less likely to buy from companies that leave their social media complaints unanswered. Furthermore, nearly half (46 percent) of users expect brands to provide customer service on Facebook. (Neil Patel)

Mobile Commerce

With a huge percentage of internet traffic now coming from a mobile device, more and more consumers are using their mobile devices to shop online. Brands need to make sure they have optimized for mCommerce to capitalize on today's opportunities.

1. 60% of online retail website visits come from mobile devices. (Adobe, 2021)

2. With over $190 billion spent on smartphone devices in 2020, mobile accounts for 40% of all online sales, and this number will surpass 50% by 2022. (Adobe, 2021)

3. 70% of mobile searches lead to action within an hour. (Forbes)

4. 67% of consumers admit to "digital window shopping" for fun on their smartphones, with 77% of those making impulse purchases when they do. (Paypal)

5. 51% of smartphone users have purchased from a company other than the one they originally intended to because of information provided at the moment they needed it. (Google)

No matter how your Nudie jeans looked when you bought them, they all began as a pair of dry denim. Even the pre-washed and pre-distressed styles were dark indigo denim at first. We cherish well-worn and mended jeans. Jeans that become a part of us when worn a long time, just like a second skin.

At every stage, from harvesting the cotton, to indigo dyeing and weaving, down to the sewing, men and women have worked hard to create our products. This is why we value the product so highly and will always believe in the worth of repairing and reusing. We recommend our customers to wear their dry Nudie jeans for at least 6 months before the first wash. The outcome depends on who you are and how you live your life in your jeans. But regardless of the lifestyle, your jeans become a log of the time gone by, and they will end up as one of a kind, shaped by you.

But if it's those strong contrasts you're after, keep in mind that an early wash will reduce the chances to get that distinct look. Airing them instead of washing will also save water. And this is the first part of the smart but still so simple eco cycle. Following the eco cycle makes your Nudie Jeans more beautiful while also saving resources.

Why does Indigo fade?

During the dyeing process, the natural cotton warp yarn is dipped into a number of indigo dye baths where it gradually turns to a deep blue color. As indigo dye can't be completely fixated onto and penetrate the cotton fibers - the color will bleed and fade as long as the denim is worn.

If you scrape an indigo-colored cotton warp thread with the edge of a knife, the blue dye will bleed and reveal the white core layer. The same principle applies when wearing a pair of dry jeans.

Every pair of Nudie Jeans comes with a promise of free repairs. No matter when or where you got them. Our jeans are meant to be worn a lot. We use only high-quality fabrics, and the sewing is top class.

During 2022, we repaired 65,386 pairs. That's quite a stack, considering they are stacked double-folded.

As we provide the jeans, we also take care of them when they are torn. Just wash your jeans and hand them into your closest Nudie Jeans Repair Spot. Once they are patched and sewn, you have an updated version of your favorite jeans.

If you feel the moon is closer than any of our Repair Shops, you can look for our Repair Partners. They are fully equipped to repair and handle your jeans just as if you had left them at one of our shops. Of course, they do it for free as well. We also got repairs on wheels. Catch the Mobile Repair Station when it hits your town.

Repair shops.

Our shops are called Repair Shops because, for us, it is just as important to care for and repair the jeans we once sold, as it is to sell new ones. Of course, you can buy our products in our Repair Shops, but we have also chosen to give the Repair Stations a key position in the stores.

The idea behind the Nudie Jeans Repair Shops is for them to serve as hubs where our jeans are repaired, resold as second-hand products, or handed into the Nudie Jeans Reuse program. Last year we collected 20,772 pairs of jeans in our shops.

Repair partners.

One of the biggest challenges of circularity is scalability. In 2018, we set a goal to open 50 new Repair Spots globally by 2030, and one of the steps toward reaching that goal is partnering with selected wholesale accounts and establishing Nudie Jeans Repair Stations in their local shops.

This enables a wider reach for our repair services and allows us to spread the eco-cycle message, while also creating opportunities to further impact consumers' adoption of more circular behaviors. The Repair Partners are equipped with the same sewing machines and sets of tools as our own Repair Shops in order to easily carry out the same services that we provide. Each partner is carefully selected to ensure that our promise of free repairs for life is delivered responsibly, with high quality, and in more and new locations.

Repair kit.

If there's no Repair Shop or Repair Partner around the corner where you live no planned visits from the Mobile Repair Station, you can order a free of charge DIY repair kit.

To prolong the life of a garment is even more sustainable than recycling. It can be done by simply using the garment for a long time, reselling the garment, reusing the fabric to create something new, making patches for repairing or cutting it into materials for new products.

At Nudie Jeans we do all of this, to reduce waste. We offer our customers 20% off the next pair when handing in an old pair of Nudie jeans. The jeans that we sell again in our Reuse range are washed and then repaired if needed, and ready to become a new customer's favorite pair. Prolonging the life of the denim by reselling, is also a great way to showcase the real value of the garment. In 2022 we sold 3984 pairs of Reuse jeans.

When we have used and reused denim for a long time, we need to explore recycling, as the last step of closing our loop. Recycling reduces waste, saves energy, and reduces the consumption of virgin raw materials. Cotton fibers last much longer than we normally tend to use or wear our clothes. A pair of jeans can be recycled in various ways, and there are challenges in both the mechanical and chemical recycling processes. We are constantly looking for new ways to extend the life of our cotton fibers.

In the exploration of recycling our own products, we endeavor to keep organic cotton separate from conventional cotton in the recycling process. This way, it can be used again as recycled organic cotton, which we think is the most preferred alternative. By exploring ways of recycling our own products we know that the input of recycled cotton is organic, along with the input of virgin cotton. The new product would, therefore, be both organic and recycled.

To be able to scale up this circular idea to more than just one or a few projects, we need a steady inflow of our own denim to be used as raw material. This means that the more Nudie Jeans we can collect in our Repair Shops the better, both for reuse purposes and for recycling.

In 2022, we collected 20,772 pairs of Nudie jeans through our Reuse program and we hope that more and more of our users will hand in their jeans to us when they no longer want them. This way we can continue to prolong the life of the cotton fiber, regardless of whether it is as a pair of Reuse jeans, patches for the repairs, fabric for new denim accessories, or as fiber input to a recycled fabric blends for new jeans.

TAKE ACTION

Anyone, anywhere should be able to find out how, where, by whom and at what social and environmental costs their clothes are made. This requires greater transparency across fashion's global value chain.

So, our call to you is this - do not use this Index to inform your shopping choices but rather use these findings to inform your activism.

We urge readers to use these findings to speak up and challenge the big profitable brands and retailers on their claims, urging them to be more accountable and prove that they're making changes in reality and not just on paper.

For citizens, this means calling on:

European policymakers to legislate on living wages. Through the Good Clothes, Fair Pay campaign, we collected hundreds of thousands of signatures calling on the European Parliament to introduce living wage legislation for garment workers worldwide - stay tuned for future campaign updates!

Major brands and retailers to be more transparent on all the issues included in the Fashion Transparency Index - get in touch with brands and ask them #WhoMadeMyClothes?, #WhoMadeMyFabric? and #WhatsInMyClothes?

Policymakers, using our postcard template, to create legislation that holds big brands accountable for human rights and environmental impacts across the entire value chain.

Shareholders and investors to use their power to influence big brands to be more transparent and do better for the planet and the people who make our clothes, including making investment decisions on the basis of how transparent companies are or are not.

Civil society, such as trade unions and NGOs, to ensure that brands' policies and practices translate into positive outcomes in the places where clothes are made.

The fight for safe conditions and fair pay in Bangladesh has not yet been won, campaigners are warning on the 10th anniversary of the deadliest disaster in the garment industry's history.

On 24 April 2013, 1,134 people were killed and at least another 2,000 injured in the collapse of a factory building in Dhaka, Bangladesh, where clothing was being made for international brands including Primark, Bonmarché and Canada's Loblaw.

The owner of the Rana Plaza building remains in prison but the murder trial against him and others, including factory owners and local officials, continues to grind on almost seven years since charges were brought, with no one yet to be convicted.

Campaigners say workers in Bangladesh, which is the second-largest exporter of clothing in the world behind China, are still underpaid and can be harassed for being part of a union, while factory owners face sharp practices from brands such as delaying payments, cancelling or dramatically reducing orders without notice.

Paul Nowak, the general secretary of the Trades Union Congress in the UK, said: "Ten years after more than a thousand workers died in the Rana Plaza factory collapse, labour rights abuses are still rife in Bangladesh and many are still working in unsafe conditions.

"Relentless union campaigning secured important safety protections for factory workers. But many non-factory workers do not have the same protections."

Moushumi Begum, who spent three hours trapped under the eight-storey Rana Plaza, said: "It all happened so quickly. I vividly remember every detail about that day, even though it was 10 years ago."

After the building collapsed, Begum spent the next three hours fighting for her life. "Every second of those hours, I lay there praying to Allah. It was dark all around me and I couldn't tell if I was dead or alive," she said on a sunny afternoon in Savar, on the outskirts of Dhaka, while cradling her baby.

"I could hear people screaming and crying out for help. But I had taken in so much dust that every time I tried to open my mouth, no sound came out," she added.

Husnara Akhtar, 30, recalled having breakfast with her husband, Abu Sufyan, before they made their way to work that day. "He always took four spoons of sugar with his tea and it drove me crazy," she said, staring blankly at her own cup as she spoke.

The couple had both worked in the Rana Plaza building, though for different factories, said Akhtar: "He was on the 5th floor and I was on the 7th but we always had lunch together. He would wait for me by the gates after work so we could go home together. I last saw him alive by those gates ... Little did I know how my life would change that day."

When Akhtar gained consciousness, after the building's collapse, she found herself wedged between two dead bodies. Her husband's body was found a week later, crushed under a concrete pillar.

A positive legacy of the tragedy has been the creation of one of the world's toughest factory safety agreements, which has brought together brands, manufacturers and union representatives to check and fix buildings and advise workers of their rights.

Called the accord on fire and building safety in Bangladesh, it legally bound fashion brands to help pay for safety inspections and remediation in the country's clothing industry. To date, there have been nearly 56,000 safety inspections across more than 2,400 garment factories in Bangladesh and more than 140,000 safety improvements made.

More than two million workers are protected by the factory refurbishments. Although a similar number work in other factories not covered by the accord, their working conditions have had more oversight from government-backed inspections since an increase in international scrutiny.

Brands have contributed at least $3m (£2.4m) to helping renovate factories in Bangladesh. Primark, Walmart, Zara's owner Inditex and H&M were among those that contributed to a $30m compensation fund for the families of the people who died or were injured in the Rana Plaza disaster.

In 2021, an expanded international accord was developed that included more safety and worker health provisions beyond fire, electrical and structural inspections and repairs of factories. It also committed brands to develop a similar structure in Pakistan and at least one other country.

To date, at least 46 brands and retailers have signed the Pakistan accord, which is expected to protect 750,000 workers, although inspections are only now getting under way.

However, campaigners say some big multinationals including Levi's, Gap, Walmart and Amazon have yet to sign up to the Bangladesh factory safety deal.

Atle Høie is the general secretary of IndustriALL, a global union federation that played a key role in negotiating that accord. He said: "Although significant progress in Bangladesh's garment industry has been made, safe factories still need to be fought for. Workers who produce the clothes that we wear deserve a workplace that provides them with a living wage and decent working conditions, not a workplace that threatens to take their lives.

"More brands need to join the accord, especially in North America, to gain the leverage we need to extend it to more countries and make it truly global."

Levi's said the accord was "not the only way to support workers in Bangladesh or anywhere else". The company said it was confident in its own system of factory oversight that provided "checks and balances [and] helped us go further and gave us greater agility".

Walmart said it remained committed to sourcing from factories that maintained safe working environments. The US retailer signed up to the Alliance for Bangladesh Worker Safety. After the dissolution of the alliance came the formation of Nirapon, a self-regulatory body that aims to regulate factories but does not have legally binding commitments.

Kalpona Akter, the founder and executive director of the grassroots organisation Bangladesh Center for Workers' Solidarity, said the achievement of persuading brands and factory owners to sign up to the accord should not be underestimated.

"No one believed this agreement was even possible," she said. "Definitely we made a fundamental difference on [factory] safety but when we talk about other rights of workers such as wages and gender-based violence it is still there."

Akter said the pandemic, during which many factories were forced to close, leaving workers without pay in many cases, "showed how vulnerable workers" were and highlighted how they needed spare cash for emergencies.

Michael Posner, a former assistant secretary of state for democracy, human rights and labour in the Obama administration, agreed.

"Relationships between Bangladeshi factory owners and their corporate customers, which were badly strained by the Covid pandemic, have continued to squeeze the factory owners, and this exploitation leads to worse conditions for workers," said Posner, who is director of the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights.

Posner said he wanted to see more transparency on retail supply chains and commitments to payment deadlines. "Global fashion brands need to accept their share of the responsibility for ensuring the wellbeing of factory workers whose labour is a crucial component of the continued growth and vitality of this industry," he said.

Now campaigners want brands to sign up to a new deal which would support a living wage.

Since the Rana Plaza disaster, the minimum wage in the garment sector in Bangladesh has been reviewed every five years. The minimum was last reviewed in 2018, when it was set at 8,000 BDT (about £61) a month, half what workers were demanding.

This wage, which was not seen as enough to get by on five years ago, is still in place, despite hefty inflation and widespread worker protest.

Akter said: "The war in Ukraine has hit every single person's kitchen. Even though so much work has been done, there is a whole system [that doesn't work]. More than ever before, brands listen to consumers through social media, especially in Europe. Consumer pressure can bring some brands to the table."
