child labor

I am doing a persuasive project defending the postion that child labor is in fact good. Especially for Nike and Reebok, as well as most other sports companies. As the standard of living rises in Pakistan, Indonesia, etc. the birth-rate will drop as a result of later marriages. If the companies were to stop the use of child labor hundreds of thousands of children would be without work and more families would plummet into poverty. There would be a serious textiles inflation, shoe prices would rise and no one would buy them. Most other companies in the market would be affected too. Electronics would suffer and all prices would rise. Any comments....
