- Symbiote 11y agoYou might be doing favours for the workers in the other country, also without a safety net, but without child labour. And the government of Congo might see exports drop, and decide they need to enforce child labour laws to regain them.
- remarkEon 11y ago-> And the government of Congo might see exports drop, and decide they need to enforce child labour laws to regain them. I think this is a significant leap. I think it's much more likely that that child labour would be shifted to other, darker parts of the economy much more readily than a dysfunctional government in a borderline rentier-state changes or enforces it's laws.
