Outsourcing factory jobs to China is good in the short-term and significantly improves multinational companies bottom lines and profit margins. But in the long-term the loss of factory jobs results in higher unemployment in developed countries, local factories close down and consumers in developed countries may stop spending. Outsourcing lots of jobs ends up hurting a lot of people.

Cheap factories results in lower quality goods. The Chinese factory workers are exploited and paid extremely low wages around $2 a day. China also has a high rate of child labourers.

I'm going to blow your mind here.

Child Labor is a GOOD thing.

In countries that ban child labor in the developing world... there is a distruning trend.  Child deaths increase.  Why?  Orphans can't work to feed themselves.

Some families are fronted by 10-14 year olds.

 

Another little fun fact. When child labor laws when into effect, it had nothing to do with protecting children. They went into effect because they could be paid less, and it made it harder for adults to find work.

They went into effect to protect adults from children, not the other way around.
