Toys
About 80 percent of toys sold in Germany are produced in China - under the most inhumane conditions and tight deadlines. So that products can meet the latest trends, maintain the companies from America and Europe namely to the end with the awarding of contracts. In this area there are very many child workers: they accept the long hours and low pay, which would never reach an adult to life. You accept the inhumane shelter, heat, dust and toxic fumes. It is not uncommon in those factories in an accident, appropriate safety precautions are missing, in fires, there are many victims who see few of them in Europe, through Beachtung.Vor a case for some time, stir in the media, is indicative of the whole problem: In a toy factory in southern China Shenzhen should have packed the 400 children aged 13-16 years, toys, what is an American fast-food chain determined according to eye witnesses war.Die children had 16 hours in seven days work a week and only had two days off per month. The children were apparently for their work only the equivalent of around 2.50 € a day and had for food and accommodation per month 25 € bezahlen.Der Fast-food company refers to strict internal guidelines on child labor. The suppliers know this, however, circumvent, by favoring children who look older than they are. Many children - especially in poorer regions of China - to fool with borrowed or forged papers before higher age to find a job and relieve their families economically.

"Made in China" is equated mostly with exploitative working conditions and child labor. Many toy companies like Mattel (brands such as Barbie, Matchbox, Fisher Price, Hot Wheels, etc.), Disney and Hasbro (brands such as MB, Parker, Playskool, Star Wars, Monopoly and many others) produce there.
