Globalization is basically about trying to make things global and expand products and companies overseas to countries around the world. It can also be classified as the process of creating languages, services, and products that apply not just to a single neighborhood, city, or country, but to the entire world. Canadians have experienced many benefits that globalization has brought to their lives, including the availability of products and services from all over the world. However, at the same time, on the other side of the world it has had many pessimistic or negative effects on workers in developing countries. With the onset of the globalization boom, the number of sweatshops also increased significantly and its effects were certainly harmful in many ways to the people employed by them; mainly women and children. Among all the sectors that have become globalized, the textile and clothing sector is among the most important. Reciprocally, the textile and clothing industries constitute one of the largest sources of industrial employment in the world. In virtually every country in the world, clothing is produced but sold elsewhere. Around 30 million people produce clothes and textiles worldwide and of these thirty million, the majority are women. Around the world, women and children suffer from the introduction of sweatshops, low wages, unsafe working environments, free trade zones, foreign control, subcontracting and human and labor rights abuses. Historically, the word “exploitation” originates in the industrial age. Revolution to describe a subcontracting system in which middlemen earned profits from the margin between the amount received for a contract and the amount paid to workers. Today, the government defines "sweatshop" as any business or factory that violates one or more federal or provincial labor laws, which include the following: minimum wage and overtime, child labor, industrial tasks, occupational health and safety, workers' compensation, or registration of the sector. Originally, when the garment industry went global, it was all about the positive effects it was having on the developing countries where the factories were located and all the jobs that were introduced to those who would once never have could imagine being paid to work. began to show more of its negative effects on the lives of individuals in developing countries, it became more evident that due to this globalization people in every continent and territory were exposed to and forced to consume a North American culture.
