Answer to Question 1

Workers in factories in developing countries are usually willing to accept the wage that is being paid as it is better than their next best alternative. Their next best alternative could be unemployment or working at a lower-paying job. While this does not justify objectionable working conditions or violations of labor laws, the wages that they are paid could be a reflection of the lack of other opportunities in these countries.
