It's a whole strata of the British high street that is using cheap labour in order to give us relatively cheap priced clothing.
Even supposed ethically aware stores like Gap, have been using child labour, though they now say they've stopped...after being uncovered.
If we want children's school uniforms for under a fiver, someone has to pay for it. Sadly in some cases it's a child working in poverty.
It's economics at it's purest form. Supply and demand, and will only be changed if the demand for low cost clothing ceases.
