CHILD LABOR IN SWEATSHOPS is one the biggest problem, child that should be in school are slaveing in this sweat shops. Children should only beable to work short hours, so they have time to do other things. However in these shops child are use as tools. This could cause big problem in thier lives. "The International Labor Organization (ILO) has estimated that 250 million children between the ages of five and fourteen work in developing countries. 61% in Asia, 32% in Africa and 7% in Latin America. Many of these children are forced to work. They are denied an education and a normal childhood. Some are confined and beaten. Some are denied the right to leave the workplace and go home to their families. Some are even abducted and forced to work." Children are our future in conditions like that how could they grow to be anything. To force a child to work is the biggest problem with sweatshops. They take everything away from them and give them nothing, maybe a few pennies for their long hours and hard work. In the developing countries that these kids are from the fact is they need to work to help the family. They dont care how much they make. Thats the only thing they could get, thats why most people working in other countries should have more apprecation for their jobs, and childhood. Children working the sweatshops make thing such as Shoes, Clothing, Rugs, Toys, Chocolate, Bananas, Coffee, etc.
