Seafarers’ Rights in China Calling for More Research

Abstract

This chapter summarises the key findings from the study and highlights how the research contributes to the understanding of the impact of the MLC 2006 on Chinese seafarers’ rights. It discusses the way in which the book has answered the research question and acknowledges some of the significance and limitations of the research process. It also identifies a number of supplementary findings that emerged from the study and that have an indirect yet important influence on the effective implementation of the MLC 2006. The final section draws out the policy and practice implications of the research and suggests how further research is essential for a better understanding of the subject.
