Question 2 • SHS Alt Geography Sem 2- 2021

Which of the following statements does not describe a benefit of sweatshops?

Answer
A
Pay usually is equal to or greater than the national average.
B
Factories introduce new skills to the workforce.
C
Work conditions and hours usually are fair and comparable to what is seen in the US.
D
Underdeveloped countries benefit from increased technology.

Explanation

Sweatshops may bring benefits such as introducing workers to new skills and technology, and wages can sometimes be higher than other available local jobs. However, sweatshop work is generally associated with poor conditions and excessive hours, not fair conditions comparable to those in the United States. Therefore, “Work conditions and hours usually are fair and comparable to what is seen in the US” does not describe a benefit.
