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.

Would people working in sweatshops be any better off if the factories were not there to employ them?

Yes, people working in sweatshops would be better off if the factories were not there to employ them. Sweatshops offer extremely horrible working conditions, higher number of working hours and measly wages, causing workers in sweatshops to be threatened by potential work hazards. As of today, Mexico has a minimum wage of only $4.93 per day, Bangladesh has a minimum wage of only $24.03 per month, while Canada has a minimum wage of $10.25 in Ontario per hour. This is a glaring disparity between the countries, and many people in Mexico and Bangladesh are earning less money than they need even to fulfill their most basic needs. The incomes from the sweatshops are hardly helping the families. Apart from this, the employees in these poor condition sweatshops are seldom protected from toxic chemicals. The pollutants from the substance that colours clothes in the garment industry can be inhaled and cause serious health problems after a long period. Breathing complications may arise even if employees inhale small particles of fabric, floating in the air into their lungs. These sweatshops not only adversely affect their employees, but also have a disastrous impact on the environment. The factories produce hazardous waste and air pollutants like carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides, among others, that can build up over time to contribute to global warming, and other environmental problems. Because these sweatshops are helping neither the families nor the environment, people working in sweatshops are basically encouraging the worst for their country and economy.
