There are many different definitions of Exploitation. But it’s totally depends on the individual how
to understand the word “Exploitation”.
My definition of exploitation is: - Do not pay the minimum
wages to employees and misuse their situation.
Why it happens?
Exploitation happens because people need money in some poor
countries. They do not have enough opportunity to make money and survive their
lives. Owner of the company is always looking for an opportunity to make more
money. They find poor countries and
lower labor and invest into that country. Both owner and the employees are
beneficial by that decision.
Is this exploitation?
I think NO. People need job in poor countries and companies
give that job. It is good for both.
Who is responsible?
If somebody not making enough money from the company then I
think Government is responsible for that. Government has to make some rules and
regulation for MNCs. Governments can set a minimum wages according to their
economy and people’s needs.
Many people consider this kind of situation as Exploitation.
But think about it. Is it really Exploitation?
How Indonesia’s economy is growing? How people know about
Indonesia? Nike invested into Indonesia and they give jobs to Indonesians. It helps the overall economy to grow up. Now,
Indonesia has enough money to survive then Nike’s support is considered as
Exploitation? Is it fair?
I know Nike’s owners make lots of money but it’s only
because of their Excellency and future prediction. They took risk by investing
in a poor country and they highly rewarded.
