Answer 1

I can't give you exact locations as I am not totally familiar with the topic. I mean I know some but I'm not a major expert.  Child labor can be found in many places in the world.  Its sickening.  Mainly, it can be found in poor areas of the globe.  Many sweatshops have employed children at super low wages- many years back a sweatshop employed children to create soccer balls within Pakistan (after this was discovered organization FIFA took action)- took action to stop it.  However, child labor goes on across many different areas around the world.  Much of it occurs in sweatshops in poor countries.

They don't have much alternatives.  The education system is poor.  Their parents have to work.  In order to support their households, they work. Their money is used to support family...its sad.  And sometimes its not their choice.  While at times it is voluntary, other times it just is not.  Children are forced into working.  parents at times will think that they are giving their children a better life (b/c there isn't a lot for children at home) or..well they often get fooled into thinking that and they sell their children to others who utlize them or give (well others buy them) to people who buy them.  Its a sick trade...a very disgusting trade.  Human trafficking is awful.

Prodcuts?  Many different ones.  Maybe clothing.  Whatever can be made within sweatshops.  In China, a sweatshop was found recently...and many women and young females were found working there.

I'm sorry for not knowing much about products.  I just know that these children are treated horribly.  Many are abused.  They live in some of the worse conditions. And I wouldn't be surprised if it goes on in US.  I think it would happen more..I don't know..its not legal here of course, but I don't know.

Child labor is also used not just for economic/financial profit. Its also used for military profit.  Children are forced to become soldiers.  Many are kidnapped and forced to join the military.  Well-documented events in Uganda where children have been forced to become troops.

I can go on. Its awful.  Hope I helped.
