What I would add to this is that if these conditions become industry standards, and consumers don't buy from those producers who don't reach them, there is then even a compelling economic logic to adopt them. <BR/><BR/>This has happened to some extent with a big fireworks factory in Sivakasi (India), which now prints "made without using child labor" on its crackers because the bad PR was beginning to hurt them. Nike too did something similar with their shoes from Mexico and did not see a drop in profits.
