"Little (if any) or no economic growth" - !!!

"Most underdeveloped countries have...little (if any) economic growth"!! Care to substatiate that ridiculous claim? Leaving aside the whole issue of the pejorative connotations of "under-developed" (now usually replaced with "developing" for that reason) the statement that such countries have little or no economic growth is patently ridiculous. Most developing countries (and in particular the ones - who host sweatshop labour - that this artical applies to) have percentage GDP growth rates similar to if not in excess of developed countries. Sweatshops don't even help, they just make people be hated more and more.

Edit

I have removed the following paragraph for the time being. It uses a weasel term (recent studies) and should be substantiated with a reference before being re-added to the article.

In fact, recent studies demonstrate the power sweatshops have to raise wage levels and improve working conditions in the developing world; sweatshops actually provide workers with a better option than what would otherwise be available to them.

Also, if this paragraph is added, the counter-argument should be added, since many sweatshops fail to pay a living wage... There are many kinds of sweatshops out there... Kokiri 10:42, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Data, please

on a global scale, is sweated labour increasing, decreasing, or what? Is it a proven factor in the global refugee crisis? Any statisticians know? I googled 'sweatshop labour time series graph' without success Crawiki (talk) 15:01, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
