I'm against child labor. The fact is, by paying little kids a few cents an hour, the company saves INSANE amounts of money. They could sell their shoes for a buck or two and still be making a decent profit. It would be EASILY feasible to pay the kids a little more, or even a LOT more, and still make a huge profit without upping the price on their murchandise. However, upping their pay to the $6-7 range per hour wouldn't be good to do right off, since that would severely mess with the inflation of their country. However, making a moderate increase to the $1 an hour mark probably wouldn't severely alter the economy while providing the kids with enough money to improve their conditions. Also, if the company DIDN'T up their pay, at least they COULD open schools, hospitals and food facilities in the area with free benefits for workers at their factories. Plus, if they publicized it well, it would up their popularity in the states significantly as a humaine company.
