| Research Abstract |
Amid the economic globalization of recent years, "fair trade" arrangements have come to embody the spirit of symbiosis between developed and developing countries, and these are becoming increasingly widespread. However, Japanese consumers are not interested in fair trade products, and their behavior is not tied to fair trade.
This study was conducted in order to clearly define the fairness in the fair trade products that many consumers embrace. The study empirically and quantitatively clarifies the "fairness of fair trade products" that are defined as such along a developed country evaluation axis, from the fair trade perspective of workers engaged in production and manufacturing in developing countries, in terms of work and daily life environment models, and unfair structures being faced directly today.
