Child labour

About 10% of children worldwide are working as child labourers. This is where they
are too young to do the work or would be harmed by doing the work. Child labour
deprives children of their right to education, proper care and nutrition. Many of these
child labourers work within the fashion trade, making clothing to satisfy the demand
of consumers from around the world.

The main reasons for the existence of child labour are:

• fast fashion – the demand for clothing to be produced as quickly as possible. This
gets the latest fashion trends to the consumers for low prices

• poverty – in countries where there is extreme poverty, there are children willing to
work for low wages and parents who are forced to allow it

• not enough checks in factories – this makes it easier for factory owners to employ
children without big brands and consumers finding out.

Many global fashion brands such as Nike, H&M, GAP and Primark have been
accused of using factories that ignore child labour laws.
