Executive Summary
The Tufts University Better Work Impact Assessment Project undertook baseline data collection in Indonesia starting in September 2011. One hundred Better Work Indonesia factories have completed a baseline worker survey. A second round of data collection began in September 2012. Through March 2015, 34 factories from the baseline assessment had been resurveyed, providing year-over-year changes in worker perceptions of factory life.
