You wake up early at 6:00 in the morning to the loud sound of factory alarms, after sleeping on the floor in a room flooded with people. Quickly, go to work in the dingy, dilapidated sneaker or clothing factory. You take your place in line, receive your unattainable daily quota for production, and get to work. Conditions are deplorable and injuries are commonplace. The hours seem like ages as you work until 11am with only short breaks for lunch and dinner. Since you cannot reach your production quota, you will have to stay longer to finish the day's production, otherwise you will pay fines for incomplete work. At the end of the day, your 10-year-old body aches after a 14-hour day of hard work. For this backbreaking work you only get a few cents an hour. Then you return to the little shack you call home, along with 15 other child workers. Sleep comes early, but fades faster, as night turns to day and your work begins all over again. This day repeats 6 days a week, 28 days a month, 336 days a year. According to UNICEF, 158 million children in the world are child workers and live their lives like the one described above. Many large multinational companies, such as Nike and Gap, exploit these child workers to produce cheaper products in a global market. This exploitation by large international corporations is wrong and should be stopped through international conventions and laws. As I stated earlier, the exploitation of children in third world countries is one of the biggest problems in the world today. In many developing countries, including India, Pakistan, Indonesia, and areas of Latin America, child labor makes up a huge percentage of the country's workforce. With most of... half of paper..., these people are provided with an essential tool that can help them stand up against horrible working conditions, putting an end to the exploitation of child workers in third world countries forever. .Works CitedGentleman, Amelia. “The gap moves to recover from child labor scandal.” New York Times, np, November 15, 2007, Web, May 31, 2011.
