When poor people do idiotic job for you they don't develop their society, economy and environment.
You are stealing their time, paying them scraps insufficient for them to purchase anything developmentally significant abroad.
This is of no benefit to them. It's roughly equivalent of telling them to do nothing and paying them just enough that it's not worth doing anything else. It's a way of keeping them poor by not letting them explore opportunities for development.
It's like paying the employee so low that they have to keep working for you because they can't afford the risk associated with attempting to switch jobs and long hours rob them of opportunities and motivation.

South Korea is a prime examples of this, e.g. Seoul peace market where the people got enough income to start focusing on unionizing. That market went from sweatshops to an internationally recognized quality market in just a few decades. Did the sweatshops suck? Of course they did, but the income took a people from trying to survive to realizing their worth and demanding better conditions while catapulting their economy into one of the most modern countries in the world in a matter of a few decades.
