Penelope Kyritsis (oD): Can you tell us your name and what you do.
I’m Uma Rani, and I work at the research department of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) as a senior development economist. I work on issues related to the informal economy, poverty, inequality, and global supply chains, and much more recently on new forms of work, like the gig platform economy. So this is my area of expertise and I look at it from a development economist’s perspective.
Penelope: And in your work what have you seen as the biggest obstacles for addressing labour exploitation in global supply chains?
