Imitating labor standards from rich countries in LDCs may increase ?

Correct answer: B. poverty

  • A. equality
  • B. poverty

Explanation

Imposing rich-country labor standards and minimum wages in labor-abundant economies can raise labor costs above productivity and reduce formal employment. Workers excluded from jobs may therefore experience greater poverty rather than improved employment.
