Remove the sweatshop and there are higher suicide rates, less access to healthcare, less schooling, and worse standards of living. These may be counterintuitive but have been studied.
- autoexec 4y agoHigher suicide rates when they aren't locking workers inside under watch and putting nets up around tall buildings? Not exploiting starving men in exchange for spoiled food can be proven to result in increased deaths too. Doesn't make the exploitation okay. Companies can continue to employ overseas labor at attractive rates without allowing those workplaces to be sweatshops and we should insist that they do, not give them a pass to abuse people for profit just because they throw the people they hurt scraps in the process.
