HUMAN RIGHTS IMPACTS
|
| Privatization of state enterprises and services |
Health, water, education becomes unaffordable,
allocation for social security is diminished |
| Reduction of the role of government in most
areas |
The government is less able to monitor and
implement the realization of human rights |
| Export-led growth |
Requires reduction in wages and protection
for workers in order to compete with lower wage countries |
| Financial, trade and currency exchange deregulation |
Increases domestic and foreign debt and undermines
existing surpluses |
| Low inflation |
Because borrowing becomes cheaper encourages
land speculation leading to unaffordable housing and evictions.
Debt repayments increase. |
