As big corporations and conglomerates increase and small businesses fade away, multinational companies turn to low-cost labor so that they make more profit, as well as provide cheaper goods. It is definitely hard to find multinational companies, if not any, that do not have huge factories in China, Vietnam, or Bangladesh, where they pay very minimum pay for hundreds of workers. Not only is low-cost labor terrifying, but also millions of children, aged under fifteen, work across nations.

Can so-called-ethical-business be really called ethical when they are conducting child labor, depriving children of their basic rights? In one way, people can think that giving jobs to children will help families with no additional income; however, taking away the chance for children to receive education and be normal kids is definitely something a normal human being should do. Eliminating child labor is something all stakeholders should consider and take responsibility.

Companies should improve working space by:
1. Providing safe working conditions
2. Paying at least minimum wages
3. Setting specific working hours
4. No forced employment
5. No discrimination
