It was reported in late 2001 by The Independent that Nike had revealed that they accidentally employed children in Third World countries such as Cambodia and Pakistan in their factories, and that it would be a challenge to terminate this practice. This clear violation of human rights does not sit well with its main critics, as its corporate responsibility report fails to correct this issue. However, the company claims that forged records of birth can be very easily obtained in many nations, resulting in their human resource managements to mistakenly hire them. In the same year, a documentary by BBC uncovers the poor working conditions, in which many children were shown working seven days a week and sixteen hours a day. On the other hand, some also argue that child labour is not necessarily cruel. It can provide a struggling, poverty-stricken family financial support, saving them possibly worse conditions, and it can also be considered as a learning opportunity. This can also create industry, a stronger economy, and additional future job opportunities. If only wages were increased and job conditions were improved, I believe that large companies that generate these career prospects can be in fact, beneficial for these poor countries.
