 * In 2005 people established that would alow people to produce chocolate without children
 * now peolpe have to purchase chocolate that did not use child labor
 * Sadly only 1.3% exports come from Fair trade
 * signed umsmatty:)** GOOD JOB, UMSMATTY. WHAT DOES 'FAIR TRADE' MEAN?
 * UMSMATTY**: Fair trade means is when the chocolate factories transfer chocolate it can't be from child labor

I read the child labor in china** Children work in firework industry children work to 13 to 14 hours or 10 to 14 hours this is increasing in hong kong some laboros in Whenzhou (Whenzhou is a place)are under 12 ??? CHECK YOUR SPELLING! kids who work an make firecrackers make .03 cents toy workers get 30 cents an hour girls at a plant work 24/7 HOW CAN SOMEONE WORK 24 HOURS?? international reports say china child labor is really increasing Kids between 10 & 16 work 14 hours a day in factories (CRAZY!!) Kids at factory have been killed or injured

Foulball Childern worked for a total of 80 hours a week.They were offen mistreated if they did not do as they were told. For example if they took a longer break than they were told to they would get wiped, starved,or lashed. Most kids had to start working between 5-10.Most soccerball were made by kids from GOOD START, PLEASE ADD AT LEAST 4 MORE FACTS.
