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
