Economy

Profit is what is left over after the company

has paid out wages and covered their costs.

Child labour is often used in industries where little training

is needed.

The IT industry is one of the fastest growing

businesses in India.

make more money. Their income is much higher than that of people who

do simple jobs.

Ethical organizations help give people in the developing world a higher standard of living

and a better quality of life.

The root of the problem is our ‘fast fashion’ culture.

Consumers need to make it clear to retailers that the use of

child labour cannot be accepted.
