RE: DROPSHIPPING mania. How people passively earn thousands of $$$ and why I find it DISGUSTING...!!
But on the other hand... what would those "children" do, if they were not allowed to work? I guess there are no schools around having empty seats.
Not so easy. And they would not work, if their families would not need the money. So if you just take this money from them, will their lifes become easier or better?
And how big do you think are the chances that the respective country will spend money onto those families to compensate the loss of the child income? In a scenario where exactly this state suddenly earns less taxes, as there are now less workers working?
And how would realize their worth do them any good? If they woul start to strike for better salaries, the company owner would just move to the next country and our striking workers will have 0 income from this point on. How would this make their lifes better?
And the workers in the country the company owner moved to will now very likely not even think of a strike. They can see in their news what happened to the guys who striked. This was not nice and the new guys rather work hard 14 hours shifts in the factory, as this is still better than their lifes before.
Don't get me wrong: I don't think this is good or should be this way. But it is much, much more complicated than one usually thinks.
In the "western countries" we fought for workers rights, and it was a bloody fight that lasted many years. Now, the political right parties are taking those rights back and we have less work opportunities, less pay, less rights, contracts in favour of the employers etc. This hasn't happened yet in "eastern countries" but I hope it will happen soon.
The OP says the problem is people abusing "dropshipping", while that's just the tip of the iceberg. One might argue that without dropshipping the exploited workers wouldn't even make that little money they do. In some countries, for cultural issues and simple "being used to it", people don't fight because they risk of loosing the little they have.
During the big wars period workers had little rights all around the world. That changed when they started fighting the system, striking and they gained what we have now. Well, we're losing it again with the political right parties pushing in favour of the employers.
It all depends on us! To quote the Beastie Boys: you gotta fight for your right (to party)
