See I'm actually interested in a good-faith discussion of this topic, not a screaming match. Does anyone who isn't going to scream have something to say about whether this is actually an exploitative practice?


I would too.

We currently have a situation (we use cheaper labor in developing countries to make stuff more cheaply). Some take issue with this for various reasons like exploitation, depriving local labor force of work etc. I genuinely would like to hear some viable alternatives.

The common response is "just pay them more". But that doesn't work in most situations. So what do we do?


Hmm, interesting. I wonder if you could get creative with employment benefits Of course, if you're not actively applying geopolitical pressure to keep their labor cheap, and it's a mutually consentual agreement, maybe we can just say "it's not exploitative".
