>because "they" (assuming you mean the opportunity provider) I think you read that backwards. The "they" meant the people shutting down the sweatshops. That's why I say "feel they have done good" and not "did good". >are you suggesting a kid working in the worst sweatshop is being harmed more than if they were to starve to death? No, the opposite. Once the sweatshop shuts down, the kid is forced into an even dire situation (starvation possibly, though more likely working an even worse/more deadly job than sweatshop work). I think there were studies done on child labor being banned at sweat shops in some SEA country and the results were pretty negative as children ended up worse off, but I do not have the link on hand.
