Australia imports its largest supply of clothing from China. Which country do you think is second behind China?
United States of America
New Zealand
England
Bangladesh
Bangladesh earns approximately $2,500 per person each year for the goods and services it creates, while Australia earns an average of 85,500 person. What do you think this means for Bangladeshi working conditions.
They are much lower than Australia's, and therefore probably not as safe as Australian work conditions.
They're just a bit lower than Australia's.
It sounds like it would be really safe and enjoyable working in a Bangladeshi clothes factory.
Bangladeshi work conditions are much higher than Australia.
If Bangladeshi work conditions (also known as "labour" conditions) are so much lower and less safe than Australia's labour conditions, should we, as people living in Canberra really be buying clothes manufactured in that country? Aren't we just supporting a business that is exploiting its employees?
I had never really thought about this, but I guess we shouldn't continue buying the clothes. How can Bangladeshi people earn a living on such low wages?
We should be able to keep buying the clothes, but maybe we should ask our government to tell the Bangladeshi government to treat its workers better.
We should just be able to buy the clothes and not feel guilty about it. If we stopped buying Bangladeshi clothes, so many of the country's population would lose their jobs.
If Clothes manufactured in Bangladesh are cheap and good quality, the only thing we should care about is the price. It's not our fault if the Bangladeshi government can't look after the wages of its people.
