Abstract

The article emphasizes on the need to strengthen compliance to labor standards through co-produced enforcement in which the government and civil society organizations jointly monitor and enforce compliance. Compliance levels of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) have been found by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) to be below 50 percent in various industries.
