Fairtrade and wellbeing

A social scientist from Durham University - Dr Ann Le Mare - has won the Michael Young Prize for work on the impact of fair trade on the wellbeing of women workers in Bangladesh. Through comparing women who were employed in fair trade with other paid work opportunities it was found that fair trade employment had a significant influence on reducing poverty and improving social wellbeing.

Perhaps those are two things which teachers need to bring into the sociology curriculum? Fair trade and wellbeing.
