    Sweatshops are workplaces where workers are subjected to extreme exploitation through low wages, lack of benefits, poor working conditions, and physical or verbal abuse. They exist in developing countries and use illegal immigrant labor in some developed countries. Violations in sweatshops include the use of child labor, paying wages below minimum wage or not paying workers, unsafe conditions, no benefits, sexual harassment, preventing unions, and physical abuse. However, some argue that sweatshops can accelerate development and increase salaries over time, as occurred in South Korea and other countries. Still, sweatshops violate human rights and prevent workers from escaping poverty.
