Child Labor - Social Responsibility

"The International Labor Organization (ILO) has estimated that 250 million children between the ages of five and fourteen work in developing countries-at least 120 million on a full time basis. Sixty-one percent of these are in Asia, 32 percent in Africa, and 7 percent in Latin America. Most working children in rural areas are found in agriculture; many children work as domestics; urban children work in trade and services, with fewer in manufacturing and construction."

Some Wringers

1. The concept of social responsibility is it not something that evolves better with advances made in the economy of the country?

2. Is it not easier to regulate social responsibilty on manufacturing companies than it is to do them in agriculture or service industries?

3. Is this a concept that will only spread through out the world or only have its niche in a developed nation?

I would think in developed countries the consciousness is greater than in the lesser developed countries. Take the case of child labor which has a large chunk in Asia and Africa.
