Sweatshops do not use slave labor; their employees did choose to work there. It is necessary to understand the context of such choices. In an economically depressed or underdeveloped region, there may be few available forms of employment. Desperate people may choose to work in a sweatshop because they see no better alternative.
Some proper jobs are very difficult to find. Sometimes workers are forced to work in sweatshops either by human trafficking or slavery. Some sweatshops are operated entirely by trafficked children, because they are easy to kidnap and exploit. These are reasons why sweatshops are illegal.
They want to reduce the cost of manufacturing by using inexpensive labor
The creation of sweatshops
It gives poor families the chance to earn a living and anyone with no experience in work. It lets anyone work there. xp
Sweatshops are an issue because there are many negative things about them. For a start, workers on average have to work 12-18 hours a day with incredibly low pay in incredibly dangerous conditions and often can be abused in physical and even sexual ways. The main issue is child labour, it is discussed all around the world and it has been known for children as young as 10 to be working in sweatshops. The owners of the factories often employ people without asking them there name, without them having any skills in that area of the job. So more often than not, the people are employed without any paper work.
sweatshops first started at the start of the world war one! people couldn't afford to but clothes so they sent their kids to sweatshops to work to get money for themselves

Sweatshops are cheap to run. The workers are from very poor countries and they will work for extremely low wages. It is wrong to exploit people because they are so desperate for money and the conditions are horrible.
Even if something is sustainable it does not mean it is ethical. Sweatshops stay in business because people demand clothing at low prices. But the same people would demand a fair wage for doing that work. So poorer countries and poor people are victimized by sweatshops. When buyers can confirm a certain brand uses sweatshops, buyers protest--- but before too long, they forget morality and justice and buy cheap clothes again.
Any people who need pay and are willing to work for it. Some examples are illegal immigrants and poor people in third world countries.
People that work in the so-called " sweatshops," are low income, uneducated individuals living in precarious conditions in under-developed countries. These individuals find themselves in desperate need to have an income to support their families.
That's very illegal. They don't hire children to work in sweatshops!
They are often children whose parents sold them or gave them to work in sweatshops because the family is too poor to feed them.
The term "sweatshop" is used to indicate a factory where people do too much work for too little pay, so no, they are not ethical.
