Why is Child Labor Used?
  In order to alleviate financial difficulties, such as poverty and repaying loans to other countries, Third World countries like Thailand and India often welcome TNC's or transnational corporations. They attract by utilizing less stringent rules and regulations that they might encounter in richer countries. Child Labor is one such rule that is egregiously trespassed upon.
