> I've read some pieces some years back that indicate that when first world countries (for lack of a better term) go to third world countries and insist that kids aren't allowed to work, they actively interfere with survival for individuals in that place who are expected to work and do not have a social safety net. When we show up and impose our "high standards" to make us feel morally superior, we do so from a very privileged perspective and don't think about how that interacts with reality on the ground. This is an excellent point! It does seem a bit strange for apple to insist companies only use employees that are a minimum of 16 years old.
