Question

As the number of multinational corporations continues to grow, we are experiencing a greater number of international ethical dilemmas. One very real concern has been the human rights abuses in sweatshops in exchange for cheap labor. Several retailers have now banded together to set ethical standards in foreign factories. Which statement summarizes the challenges of companies doing business in developing countries and the concerns of their customers

Answer 1

Answer:

Multinationals must subjectively determine the local living wage, which is usually more than the local legal wage in developing countries. Customers surveyed say they are willing to pay a few dollars more to improve working conditions in sweatshops.

Explanation:

A sweatshops may be defined as a factory or firm which violates some of the labor laws of the United States as stated by the US department of labor.

In these sweatshops, they provide unfair wages, the working conditions are very poor, proper labor laws are not followed extended working hours, exploitation of labor takes place.

This has been a real challenge the developing countries are facing. This can be improved as the multinational companies determines a higher local living wage than the legal wage in some of the developing countries. Even the customers of their products are coming forward and are willing to pay more for the products so that the working conditions of the sweatshops improves.
