Another thing to consider is the cost of living in countries where sweat shops are run. Certainly, 15c/day probably isn't likely to give a person a head start, but then, neither is $7/hour in Canada. If you paid those workers $5/day, they'd be rich in no time.

That's not to say it's okay to pay them poor wages at all, and apparently, the Canadian and US governments are guilty of economic sabotage in order to ensure wages are kept at these low rates. It's to say that jobs like this are probably much akin to $7/hour jobs in Canada... the biggest difference is that those are the 'best' jobs that a person can get in say, Haiti, and it still keeps people at the poverty line.
