What would happen if there were no sweatshops?

What can be done to stop sweatshops?

By taking one or more of the steps outlined below, you can make a real difference to end sweatshops. Demand sweatshop-free products where you shop. Buy union-made, local, and secondhand. Buy Fair Trade. Ask questions. Mobilize at your workplace, school, or in your community. Use shareholder clout to end sweatshops.

Why are sweatshops so bad?

In order to manufacture things quickly and inexpensively, sweatshop workers often women and children suffer grueling workdays and meager pay that does not cover basic expenses, while offering them cruel working and living circumstances.

Why sweatshops should be abolished?

In these sweatshops, children and adults work under abysmal, filthy, and unsafe conditions, for little pay. Intimidation and sexual harassment are both used as techniques to keep workers in line. Depression runs high, and often workers turn to drugs as a way to stay awake for 12+ hour workdays.

What are the positive effects of sweatshops?

However, they can be the lesser of two evils, as they provide pay to unskilled workers and spur economic development in developing countries. Sweatshops not only help with economic growth in a developing country, but also can aid in social development for citizens in the developing world.
