Trendy clothes are cheaper than ever. That sounds great for the people who buy them, but it's horrible for the people who make them. Connect with Last Week Tonight online...

I had a friend who worked for GAP, his job was mainly to manage the conformity of the factories to the rules imposed by both GAP and the government in Egypt, Bahrain, Jordan...etc. I recall him telling me that one of the factories had a pregnant employee and they were very proud to have made sure of her "well being" BY FIRING HER. I remember feeling shocked before breaking out laughing at the irony of the situation, before he told me that he spent quite a while to make them understand that this is not how it works, and that this would actually disqualify them.
What I am trying to say is that the situation is very complicated regardless to how hard you try to manage it or how honest and ethically responsible the people working for you are. In every job we do there're always the pressures of cost, time, and insane competition, and it most of the time happens in places like Bangladesh or Egypt, where it would be devastating not to invest in, but also really hard to hold a high standard against the will of the people themselves.
Just think about operating in an Environment where people get their daughters married at the age of 14 with no legal papers, whilst holding a check for a large some as collateral to make sure he marries her when she's reached the legal age of 18! It's really hard, and in the same time not investing there actually makes it worse because poverty is the reason they take those children out from schools and place them in the factories in the first place.
Lastly, sometimes prevention isn't a solution. Maybe a better way would be to acknowledge that child labor will occur and to use that to make sure these children are getting well paid, well nurtured and well educated, and then maybe eventually the problem will disappear. -
I know this is not the point, but...this is about fashion so it must be said. Kathy Lee Gifford does not have the right colouring to pull off that pastel pink blazer...

In my country there is industry where people make armani suits and monthly payment is only 300 dollars and for that suits are selling in italy germany austria and other countries for more then 1500$ per suit

Where have I seen that late twenties guy before?

But more importantly- what is the situation that causes children to lie about their age in order to get a job in a sweatshop? How can we empower a country with a population that is so desperate for essential needs (like an income)?

pretty good except we ship it around the world, wear it once, donate it to goodwill, who never even put it into their stores, instead sell it to recyclers, who ship it back to said country, where those laborers wear it used, while sewing new clothes for us 24 hours a day, and thereby putting their local tailors out of business.

maybe clothing is cheaper now but sneakers are getting more expensive

I'm all for child labor. It teaches them responsibility.

The food isn't that cheap....I'd eat it

He always has the best stunts like the debt forgiveness and "food" shipment.

Yeh! the material to produces Red Flag delivery from Thailand were in the same material used to produces Brand name Lacross Flag Material. Just only I was not put the Brand name inside because, I want to know how the customer evaluation the values from where? How the customer got the smell bad in the other Flag that are the prices higher than my prices?
1. Quality of Material?
2. Production Process?
3. Price?
4. Place?
5. Promotion? -
I'm genuinely confused.
If these kids are wanting and willing to work and the company is willing to pay. Is that wrong somehow. Would paying them a federal minimum wage (in their county, shit even ours), would that then make it acceptable?
Because my parents being from another county and visiting several times I could understand the hardship of some places and people need to drop out of school and work to help their family.
Is that the problem? Low wages?
Or are ppl upset that children are working? Not being an ass I'm genuinely asking. -
Crazy idea: maybe stop being such cheap motherfuckers and have the clothes made in factories right here in the States where you could actually manage them. And yes, we'd have to pay more for our boxers but don't the vast majority of people have way more clothes than they need? We just don't need to go shopping so often...67 new pieces a year is slightly more than one every week. We all want to be cute, but damn...if you can't be cute with one new piece every 3 weeks...... ;)

America can't hold the world at their standards. The families working their children are probably too poor to give two fucks about ideals regarding child labor and look at these companies as an opportunity for easy work for their children, who would otherwise have to be involved in even worse jobs - like my dad who used to farm in others' lands before and after school in Bangladesh.
Now obviously this is not a good argument to let corporate magnates make big bills off the back of children who should be studying instead. But simply regulating the companies is NOTHING but an attempt at political correctness at the UN. However one cannot hold a country responsible for the welfare of another wrt child labour or otherwise. I simply do not see a homogeneous solution here. Please help me out if you can. -
