The content is presented in two parts, the first of which offers an introduction to social accounting and how it has been developed over the past few years with details on the methodologies and databases used. The second part of the book describes the footprints of the social accounts that have the highest impact on people’s well-being (employment, income, working conditions,and inequality) and how they are linked to international trade. The need for reporting on such indicators falls within the purview of corporate/national social responsibility (part of the Triple Bottom Line). The book offers a valuable contribution to the literature for researchers and students engaged in the social sciences, human rights, and the implications of international trade on labour in developing countries.iv>Summary: Introduction -- Motivation -- Background and context -- Methodology -- What are satellite accounts? -- Basic definitions of social satellite accounts -- How to make satellite accounts -- Leontief’s equation -- Database -- Employment & income footprints -- Working conditions footprints -- Fatal footprints -- Non-fatal footprints -- Days lost footprints -- Wages lost footprints -- Child labor footprints -- Inequality footprints -- Bibliography -- AppendixPPN: PPN: 1658184106Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-EES
