Mostly women work in sweatshops due to a combination of socio-economic factors, including limited job opportunities and gender inequality in the labor market. Many women, especially in developing countries, have fewer educational and professional options, leading them to accept low-wage, unregulated work in industries like textiles. Additionally, cultural norms often position women as primary caregivers, making flexible, albeit exploitative, work arrangements in sweatshops more appealing. This dynamic perpetuates a cycle of poverty and marginalization for female workers.
