I have a question about the book ';Creating A World Without Poverty'; by Muhammad Yunus?

I have just finished reading this book for my civics class and it was very interesting. He addressed many topics throughout the book and gave very convincing solutions to the issue of poverty. But in the book i was wondering why he never mentioned the issue of sweatshops when he addressed both poverty and globalization? Does anyone know the reason for this?


Thanks for your help!I have a question about the book ';Creating A World Without Poverty'; by Muhammad Yunus?
unfortunately this is an area where morality and practicality widely differ





morally sweatshops are wrong - everyone should get a fair days pay for a fair days work





practically at present if you closed the sweatshops the workers would have no income at all plunging them further into poverty





it's a catch 22 situation which presumably he did not want to bring into his excellent treatiseI have a question about the book ';Creating A World Without Poverty'; by Muhammad Yunus?
sweatshops arent really sweatshops in bangladesh. the workers are treated perfectly. in fact, they enjoy working. the places are like american high schools where women go in their designer sarees and makeup. they go to work together in the morning and come back home again together at night. they even go through 'boyfriend' troubles...additionally,they have annual functions like picnics...and also they get good bonus before holidays. so the sweatshop thing isnt a big deal.
