< p style= "text-align: center > > why does sweatshop exist < /p >

< p > when brand is associated with sweatshops, everyone's first reaction is to pfer the factory to the cheaper labor force in order to reduce labor costs.

In this way, you can make yourself more competitive in the market, help yourself win more market share and earn more profits.

It is precisely because of such demand that such factories exist.

Is the existence of sweatshops really blamed for companies wanting to earn more profits? Consumers want to buy cheaper a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > clothes "/a".

In fact, for the existence of sweatshops, even in the eyes of some economists and scholars, they all think that the existence of sweatshops is very meaningful for those poor areas and even countries.

Economist Jeffrey Sachs said at a seminar in Harvard University in 1997: "I'm not worried about sweatshops, but sweat and sweat."

Sweatshops play a very important role in the economic development of Singapore and Hongkong.

Sweatshops now need to be pferred to more poor places (Third World countries) to help them out of poverty. "

In a 2009 New York Times article supporting sweatshops, a 19 year old girl said in an interview: "I value my present job very much and it is our dream to have a job in a sweatshop.

It can help us get rid of poverty. "

Therefore, in order to pursue profits, consumers will continue to exist in order to pursue cheap and poor people in pursuit of survival.

So even if you didn't buy enough stuff in these stores, you must have heard that friends around here often shop.

P, 2013, during the autumn and winter fashion cycle, a demonstration of people gathered outside the Y-3 show. They shouted the slogan "NO SWEATSHOP" with the sign.

They stand opposite the entrance of the show, facing such a demonstration waiting for the fashion editor, daring or buyer of the show.

No response.

They felt that they were most concerned and concerned about what was going to be staged in the show, and the boycott and parade outside the show seemed to have nothing to do with them.

So sweatshops without sweating and factories will not affect the mood of the people who see them and their opinions on the brand.

The industry in fashion circles is so, not to mention consumers waiting to buy cheap clothes.

In the 90 years since twentieth Century, American stars and consumers began to boycott sweatshops in NIKE in Asia. But over the years, we have found that such boycott has not had a great impact on the long-term development of Nike brand and its brand image and positioning.

Apart from the indifference of the outsider, there are also brands that involve sweatshops and always find various kinds of words to extricate themselves.

The most classic excuse is that we do not know that our suppliers are using child labour or factory workers without benefits.

Next, they will sign new contracts with suppliers on the surface, strictly demand the factory's production environment and treatment of workers, but these new regulations have never been implemented, just to divert public attention, and minimize the impact of sweatshops with a brand.

If sweatshops are not able to cause a fatal blow to brands, why should brands abandon sweatshops instead of /p?

< p > epilogue < /p >

< p > with the gradual increase of labor costs in China, fast fashion brands such as H&M and Zara are seeking new foundry in Vietnam, India and Bangladesh in pursuit of lower production costs.

Because of the demand of enterprises, the less developed countries with low labor force have become the places where sweatshops are built.

The "sweatshop" that was once held on top of China is called "a target=" _blank "href=" http://www.91se91.com/ "hat" /a ". With the continuous disaster of Bangladesh in recent two years," sweatshops "have found new owners since then.

So if businesses want to make money, consumers want to plan cheap, and the poor want to survive, sweatshops will not disappear.

They will only move from one place to another.
