Ashford 4: - Week 3 - Discussion 2

Child Labor

   Child labor is endemic in the poorer countries of the world, and for many   children it is seen as way of keeping their families out of poverty. Critics   point out that if the governments were to invest more in educating children,   they could be more productive and create more wealth for their nation when   they are older. In the meantime, multinational enterprises often secure   suppliers who use children.
 

  In your opinion, what is the best way to reduce child labor for multinational   corporations? How is the phenomenon of child labor viewed from your ethical   perspective? Given the ethical perspective of a particular group to which you   currently belong, or previously belonged, how would child labor be viewed?
 

  Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims   with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and   properly cite any references. Respond to at least two of your classmates’   posts by Day 7.
