You have likely heard about how goods that we may purchase in the United States from our favorite stores may be due to forced or child labor practices. This NPR https://www.npr.org/2022/05/21/1100391863/uyghurs-xinjiang-muslim-minority-forced-labor-china podcast briefly highlights how China has incarcerated thousands of people from the Uyghur ethnic minority without legal justification and coerced them into state or factory jobs. In 2021, President Biden signed the Uyghur Forced Labor Protection Act which prohibits products produced from forced labor from entering the U.S. The U.S. Department of Laborhttps://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/ILAB/child_labor_reports/tda2021/2022-TVPRA-List-of-Goods-v3.pdf.published a report outlining a list of goods produced by child or forced labor.
For this discussion module, find a news article about a product that is currently being sold or has been sold that is a result of being produced by child labor OR an article about a U.S. economy that is producing products due to child labor in another country. First, reflect on the podcast and report. Then, post a link to your article, explain the practice, and then answer the following questions: How have U.S. consumers benefited from this practice? How has the U.S. economy benefited? How can we as citizens reduce this practice?
