Any form of slave labor is <br />usually the cheapest way to produce something because little or nothing has <br />to be paid to the workers. <br />Most children that are forced to work are economically disadvantaged. <br />Either their country as a whole is disadvantaged or just their family. <br />Parents that would normally stick up for their children are unable to do So. <br />Sometimes parents feel that the only way to survive is to sell their child to a <br />company. They feel the company will give the child a better life than they <br />are able to. Other times children are kidnapped off the streets and their <br />parents never know where they have gone. Neither of these problems is <br />dealt with because the govemments are usually afraid to do anything. <br />The fact that kids will not usually protest, or form unions and go on strike is <br />one reason why child labor persists, most of these children have known no <br />other life. If nobody is there to stick up for the children, then nothing will <br />be done about the problem. <br />2 <br />
