Many people perceive “exploitation” of working people in poor parts of the world as a problem; and because in poor countries, child labor is typically quite common, it is no wonder that this article is also about children.
I wrote an article about Child labor (to the Extremes) a year ago; readers’ reactions were rather emotional than rational, as this is a relatively sensitive topic. Now I would like to do something quite similar. Many people perceive “exploitation” of working people in poor parts of the world as a problem; and because in poor countries, child labor is typically quite common, it is no wonder that this article is also about children. For example, I have a friend who does not want to buy certain products made by desperate people in appalling conditions; appalling compared to conditions we are used to here and now.
And what do I mean by the word “exploitation”? Well, for the purpose of this article, let’s skip the Marxist theories of surplus value; by “exploitation” I mean what is commonly meant today when some companies import products from third world countries that were made by people much poorer than we are, so they did not have to pay them too much. The law of supply and demand applies everywhere, so where there is little to eat, people will be glad to work in the heat with poisonous fumes for a loaf of bread, while in the rich Europe of the twenty-first century, many despise a job as a cashier while saying it is slavery; and by the way, I do not find anything bad on that job, I was also working that way until I had better working opportunities.
For a person that thinks rationally, just one argument (defending those who “exploit”) could be enough: If the employees work voluntarily for the employer (if the employer does not force them to work for him, which would be seriously condemnable slavery), then he is just helping them, because he improves their situation. How come? Well, only the fact that someone takes a job voluntarily (even if it is a job with bad conditions) means that his situation was improved (otherwise he wouldn’t take the job). I do not say that such worker is doing well, but thanks to his employer he is doing better than without him; of course, working sixteen hours a day with toxic environment is certainly not good, but it is probably better than dying of hunger (at least for the person who accepted the job; if it was not the case, he would rather starve).
By purchasing products made in third world countries under horrible conditions, we do not harm those people, on the contrary, we help them; this implies, among other things, that various attempts to sabotage firms that “exploit” poor people, ultimately harm those people even more. Why? Well, if the demand for things produced in the third world countries increases, then the motivation for entrepreneurs to start a business and compete with other companies also increases, and that is ultimately good for their employees; on the contrary, if the demand is smaller, then the opposite effect happens – the law of supply and demand applies regardless of whether we like it or not. By not buying some products just because they were produced by kids in Asia, and you rather buy something else produced in Europe in compliance with hygiene and safety conditions, you will cause little more poverty for those children you compassion with.
Not to mention that “appalling working conditions” is a very relative term; working conditions are mostly related to living conditions, which depends on how rich the society is. Previously, even in Europe when it was not a very rich place (compared with today’s Europe), the working conditions were often also quite terrible; they improved after the Industrial Revolution, although many people believe in the opposite (mostly because the Industrial Revolution is associated with child labor – which we are told in schools – while the fact that children had been working hard in the fields from dawn to dusk before is ignored). The peak of ignorance, in my opinion, is when people swear at employers from different time or place for not providing working conditions comparable with the current ones; whether it is demonizing factory owners from the 19th century or companies that now employ workers from developing countries.
For a better understanding... Let’s imagine a very advanced civilization of aliens who are no longer doing manual labor (they see it as something torturous and cruel), as it is only done by robots in their world; this society is extremely resource-rich and travels through space. Imagine that once they arrive at Earth, some find that they are pleased to be served by human waitresses in restaurants; when we take into account the enormous wealth they have, such waitresses will be paid, for example, a 50 000 dollars per month. Logically, many people will have an enormous interest in this job and will be happy for it. When suddenly... many aliens will try to make these restaurants go bankrupt to protect people; after all, it is unacceptable for the waitresses to be tortured there by physical labor for such a ridiculous wage!
The above example is a very accurate analogy; although for these aliens, physical work is almost a torture and something totally unacceptable, it is quite common for us at our stage of technological development, not to mention that being a waiter for 50 000 dollars a month is a dream job for many people. Why? Simply because compared to other working possibilities, this is the best one; it is exactly the same with workers from developing countries, who can work either for some European or American company for (from our perspective) little money in (from our perspective) terrible conditions, or they can be without job starving, or they can do even something worse. A completely absurd, arrogant and, above all, ignorant approach to the whole thing is when someone does not compare the offered job with the other offers near the place those people live in, but rather with other offers that are here, which they cannot accept; it is exactly the same if someone was trying to forbid employing a waitress for 50 000 dollars a month, because in his civilization it would be a terrible job, while ignoring that she would otherwise do something worse.
In conclusion, I would like to point out that, that although we may find the working conditions in some parts of the world appalling from our point of view, we should not forget about their other possibilities; if they voluntarily choose a job, it means that from their point of view it is the best choice they have (if they knew about a better offer, they would choose that one). Fighting against them having this possibility can only harm them; if you want to help them, then buy the goods they produce, increase market demand for it and that will cause competition to grow. And that would actually improve their conditions.

I agree with the premise of your post. In that I don't look at third world conditions through first world lenses.
Its interesting that alot of people get so much information on the internet yet do not have the capacity to critically think about why things are not the same as the world they live in. It's not the lack of education. I think its more to do with how education now focuses on emotion as opposed to logical thinking.

The minimum wage actually harms people (also according to most economists, not only according to libertarians) - just answer yourself a question of what will happen to employees who bring less value to their employers than the amount of minimum wage. Those who employ these people are actually helping them (and because of minimum wage law, the risk of employing those people is higher, so it is even less beneficial to employ those people because of the law).

I have mixed "feelings" on this.
That said, I've become much more lax on the geography of my purchased products due to desecrate what you're saying in this article.
I took an environmental course with the major (it was my best grade) and while researching working conditions and cultural norms, I was quickly put into place.
One thing that I'd read was that some cultures feel that the entire family either should help or must help for survival.
LIGHT BULB!
Of course. How ridiculous of me to think any less of a family because they were born "geographically poor". I'm poor. I'm Canadian poor. My poor is vast richness for eras and locations. I'm still poor and life is still difficult but, my 12 year old Daughter doesn't have to dig through garbage to find garbage that's magically useful.
No Mother on this planet, no matter how unmotherly, would allow her children to do such things if it wasn't the only life they had to live.

I really enjoyed this one. Specially because i once worked a minimum wage job at a textile factory in a so called 3 rd world country. I absolutely agree. If one looks at geopolitical aspects and relates it to resources, one could argue whether circumstances still mimicked colonial times. I feel that regulatory frameworks in international trade need to be changed in particular countries to ensure dignified socio economical circumstances?

Let us not deny the truth that there is still tendencies of exploitation that takes place everyday and everywhere, so the question is when would man's humanity to a fellow human end?

Thank you for your interest in the topic of freedom. I do not really understand your question.
I do not even know how you define exploitation. If you add to the definition the "surplus value" thing. Then exploitation is pretty much everywhere, as the owner has to have some profit from his business. And if he does not have one, then he is not a good businessman and he will probably go bankrupt.
Capitalists (and libertarians) are not against humanity and helping other people. They just do not want the inefficient state to take part in that role.

As one of ten children I was always seeking odd jobs in the neighborhood to collect enough change to buy ice cream bars and slushies. I learned quickly which jobs were sucky. Picking up sticks in Mr. Bower's yard was sweaty work, but he paid well. Hauling maggot covered garbage bags for the young mother across the street did not pay so well, but I felt sorry for her. In all of my exploits I felt autonomous. even if it was my conscience leading me to degraded labor I chose it. I learned things like being able to stick to a task until it was completed, but mostly I learned that hard work should pay well, more importantly it should always be my choice.

I'm going to point out that "improving" someOne's conditions by giving Them an option of starving to death with no shelter or clothes (because They cannot afford any of that) or slaving in ghastly conditions to One's own great profit for barely enough to cover some of those needs seems... Hardly commendable. The sad thing is that money promotes this on Our planet. And money is a very antiquated tool - and I mean money in any form: trade, barter, work exchange, shells, beads, sticks notched and split, coins (metals), bills, or electronic bits.
Imagine an alien civilization where They do not account for the Individual's energy input. They use free energy drawn from the electromagnetic field that pervades the universe (ala electrogravitics) for energy needed, have robots to do all necessary work no One wants to do, govern by a decentralized web that was open-source, with a central site upon which They report problems, able to respond personally if They care to solve for them, and live as richly as Each might choose. Money is not used, but They have in place the Betterment Ethic, striving to make things better in all They do, earning social currency such as reputation, thanks, respect, appreciation, bragging rights, fame, and other such social currencies to motivate Them.
Each One is sovereign, and no One is in a position of "authority" with widespread power over others. Any psychopaths amongst Them have no more (or less) power than any Other. As there is no money, and its attendant promoting of psychopaths to widespread power over Others, Their information flows freely and unhidden and uncontrolled. There is no successful effort to dupe the population and manipulate Them, through controlled media. There is no profiteering, selling "treatments" requiring continued purchase (and creating further ailments that can also be "treated" for profit) rather than offering cures, rather than suppression of cures to maintain profit.
Imagine what They would make of a planet that accounts for the energy each Individual adds into a system. That makes wage slaves of the Many, profiting only Some. Where the Individuals, in order to survive, must forgo Their dreams, must give up Their bliss, must fail to fulfill Their potential because, to survive, They must plug Their energy in somewhere, somehow, to get meager amounts of tokens to manage to survive.
I would wager that these aliens would be aghast. Served by a Human waitress? I suspect They would pity the poor Being thus enslaved to serve, rather than having the option of doing any Ethical thing She might choose.
I am an anarcho-abundancist, aiming to free Humanity to Our sovereignty on this planet that was stolen from Us centuries ago through "trusts" and deceit (see My post, "Trusts").
Love always!

This was a thought-provoking post. My only challenge is that these large corporations know these people will work in unsafe and unhealthy conditions for little to nothing. That is why they move the work to third-world countries. They can afford to pay better to greatly improve the quality of lives, but they won't because it is all about profits. But, many in the wealthier parts of the world say the same thing about corporations while checking how their 401K is doing and complain when it is not "doing well".

As I do not want to think about the morality of upvote bots, I stopped following the downvote trail. There were always people who considered using upvote bots as something immoral and bad. Now with the free downvote mana, many cleaning services appeared. Delegating SP and getting upvoted by a bot is presumably something that some people do not like to see. So be prepared to have your posts disliked. Possible solution is to stop delegating and just use your SP. The users should distribute the rewards, not some bots. The idea of Steem is that users motivate those who produce great articles, not motivate those who produce bad posts and downvote those who produce malicious stuff. Using bots hurt Steem in the long-term and that is, of course, something that others do not like to see.

As a person that has lived in Asia I have to agree. I was speaking to a former child worker and he said that because of new laws in Cambodia he lost his job and that meant his family lose a third of their income.

The problem with Max's theory is that it doesn't take into consideration the risk that the entrepreneur takes. In order to create a business, an entrepreneur must find the funds to invest, purchase machinery rent accommodation, conform to all the local labor laws and have an idea of a product that is of value.
Most importantly, if his or her idea wouldn't work and the products won't be purchased, the entrepreneur will lose their investment and would be stuck for life paying his debt to the banks. A worker might lose the job, but he won't be stuck with the debt to the end of his life, but the entrepreneur would,
So, in business, whoever carries the risk gets a reward. The European and American companies were going sound and east, to begin with, because of the labor laws in the States and Europe became so difficult for an investor and entrepreneur that they couldn't compete with cheaper foreign products.

This is a great article. Very interesting way to see a situation on the other side.
I worked in Circus and with a lot of sideshow artists. Some people use to get mad at people like PT Barnum saying he took advantage of people and put them on display. While a small bit may be true, by large, he gave work to people that would have otherwise been shunned by society at that time. They were paid a great wage, and the people with them o tour were thier friends.

While I agree with the basic premise of child-labor not necessarily being slavery or even bad, I disagree on the finer points that you do not address. I haven't yet voted on your article because I'd like to see what develops. I cannot tell if you are naive or underinformed, but you do not provide a balanced presentation.
Some of the reasons that child labor may not be bad include:
-They live in a hunter-gatherer culture where resources are fairly scarce and idle hands mean someone will starve.
Some of the reasons child labor might be bad include:
These are just a few of the two sides of the argument. We do not need to compare their situation with our own in order to make a valid judgment.
