Discussions between Cambodia's government, manufacturers and unions over a pay increase for garment workers have ended without agreement.
Most of Cambodia's 350,000 garment workers are young women, and on average earn the monthly minimum wage of $US50 a month, stitching clothes for export.
But unions have long said that is insufficient, and the government's own statistics office agrees, saying workers need at least $US93 a month to make ends meet.
