    The social ethical issues affecting the clothing industry include:
    Violation of employees’ rights
    Use of child labour
    Sweatshops

    Underpayment of labour as well as poor working conditions 

    Business ethical practices aim at ensuring the well-being of the community


    Child labor
    Exploitation, forced labour and child labour are a daily routine for many
    manufacturing companies in Pakistan in the apparel industry. 
    Work done by children that hinders their right to education and negatively
    influences their:
    1) physical
    2) mental or spiritual growth
    Sweatshops
    Subjecting their workers to unacceptable conditions that violate human rights.
    Most of the company pay their employee lower wages than minimum wage limit
    set for international corporations.
    Pay their workers based on pieces rather than a guaranteed hourly payment. 
    Force overtime, safety and health risks as well as violations of rules
    No written contract.
    Poor infrastructure
    In Pakistan, most clothing industries operate in buildings not meant for production
    or manufacturing cloths

    1. Defective appliances such as generators and electric wiring


    2. Poor construction, not designed to lift heavy machinery weights
    3. Overcrowded work floors
    4. Blocked, absent, locked, narrow emergency exists
    Wages
    It is estimated that the current minimum wage in Pakistan still only covers 60%
    of the cost of living in a slums. 

    Most garment workers are women. Many of these women have children and
    families and no other income earners in the family to contribute.
    Conclusion
    Clothing brands and companies to set concrete, measurable steps throughout their supply chain
    to ensure garment workers get paid a living wage.
    National governments in garment producing countries to make sure minimum wages are set at
    living wage standards.
    European governments to implement regulation to ensure companies are responsible for the
    impact they have on the lives of workers in their supply chain.
    Companies should say no to child labour and local government should implement law strictly.
