Is it right to use child labour?

KANAL PATEL (300754583) DATE: 03 Feb. 14

1. What is the problem? A case synopsis

= The problem in this case is the child labour and its impact to the society.

2. Should Canada develop regulations governing the use of child labour in foreign countries by Canadian companies?

= I think that the Canada might not be able to develop some set of regulation against the child labour issue because it does not have that authority to do so in other countries, but if it is in the authority of Canada to so by going in other country, I think it should do it.

3. You are the manager of a company considering setting up a factory in a foreign country that allows child labour. What would be the benefits to your company for deciding not to use child labour?

= If the company does not use child labour, its productivity would rise and require lesser supervision. Also it would be remarked and known as the company that does not use child labour apparently giving a right impression.

4. You are the manager of a company considering setting up a factory in a foreign country that allows child labour. Should you simply rely on the laws of that country when deciding what to do about child labour? Why, or why not?

= I think that I should not only rely to the laws of the country where I am going to setup a company but also consider the laws of the native country i.e. Canada. I should consider the laws of the country where the company belongs to because that country mainly regulates the policies of the company and regulates its rights, authorities, guidelines and penalty

    In my opinion, the best way to reduce child labor for multinational corporations is to help the host nations in stressing the value of education to its citizens and improving educational opportunities such as better schools for its children. At the same time, the companies should strengthen its screening process to ensure that they are not hiring children. Just as it states in our text “Since poverty is synonymous with child labor, if a company pays higher wages, it can have a beneficial effect in raising local living standards and hence reducing the need for children to be employed” (Fieser, Moseley, 2012, p8.3). The same jobs that are using child labor could be given to able adults. From my ethical perspective, there needs to be balance in employing children. School should be the first priority for children yet they should also be allowed to partake in some form of regulated part time work in order to give them some experience and prepare them for the working world. Many teenagers graduate from high school and are unprepared for the transition from full time school to fulltime work. The ethical perspective of the group with which I belong to (African American), education is a priority however, young adults need a part time job in order to prepare them for their adult life and instill responsibility in them. As noted in the text “Covert child labor involves either participating in a family-run, income-generating activity, such as farming or retailing, or replacing the child’s parents in performing household chores such as cooking, cleaning, fetching water, and gathering fuel” (Cigno, 2012, p 65). Not all forms of child labor are detrimental.…

    There is something unique totally to the situation of child work in outside countries than just "children need to stop working and be free" because of the way that they need to work to help themselves else they would not have the ability to survive. “I am not sure” (Divakaruni, par,2). Furthermore, the paragraph 2 makes it clear she can't help contradicting the House's answer and later on she explains it why. 2. Divakaruni’s thesis is stated in paragraph 8: “A bill like the one we’ve just passed is of no use unless it goes hand in hand with programs that will offer a new life to these newly released children.”…

    Compared to other countries, Canada has a better track record when it comes to following the Children's Bill of Rights. In this essay, I will attempt to prove that children born, raised, and living in Canada are treated with more respect and humanity than other cultures across the world. A lot of people, especially in Canada, are not very familiar with issues regarding child labour and slavery, simply because these things are either non-existent, or a closely guarded secret here in Canada. A prime reason for this is because Canada is a place where freedom and equality thrive among society, and children are protected from occupation exertion and unfair wages for time worked.…

    1.A visiting American executive finds that a foreign subsidiary in a poor nation has hired a 12-year old girl to work on a factory floor, in violation of the company’s prohibition on child labor. He tells the local manager to replace the child and tell her to go back to school. The local manager tells the American executive that the child is an orphan with no other means of support, and she will probably become a street child if she is denied work.

    Child labour is often seen only to occur in third world countries but this is not the case. Child labour occurs all over the world and the brutality and cruelty of this work varies. Although child labour is seen as a bad thing, for the children and families living in their poor conditions, child labour is seen as necessary for the family to live as it is an essential income. UNICEF estimates that around 150 million children aged 5-14 in developing countries, about 16 per cent of all children in this age group, are involved in child labour. Therefore child labour is still a big problem in our world today especially as some children are forced to work in dangerous, unhygienic, life threatening conditions. Not only does is it harmful to their physical body it also effects their education as some children drop out of education to work. Even though many organisations and charities attempt to stop child labour or at least make the conditions suitable for children, child labour is still seen as a big problem in the 20th century.…
