Abstract

Western media reports of the immolation of nearly 200 poorly paid women workers in a toy factory in Thailand earlier this year reinforce a stereotype of sweatshop employment in Southeast Asia. There is much evidence to iustify such a view, particularly if the focus is on the more recently developing and less developed countries, such as Thailand and the Philippines.
