What are there positives, if any, to GAP sweatshops?

Question

I'm doing a debate on GAP sweatshops and how they are wrong they are but I would like to know any positives so i can rebuttal my opponent's info.

Answer 1

Here you go.  It's not my suggestion that I agree with the following points, but these are difficult to debate.

(1) Sweatshops keep costs low, making products affordable by the average consumer.

(2) Sweatshops provide employement for people that wouldn't ordinarily be able to earn any money at all, or who might be forced into less desirable occupations, such as teenage prostitution.

(3) Sweatshops allow GAP to remain in business (competitive), which preserves management and administrative jobs in the US.
