Pakistan
supplies around 70% of the world’s footballs, with an
estimated 44,000 men and women stitchers in the Sialkot
region of Pakistan involved in the production of 35 million
footballs every year. International campaigns in the 1990s have
succeeded in virtually eliminating child Labour by gradually
moving production away from home based stitchers to independently
monitored stitching centers and providing constructive alternatives
for children such as basic education and skills training. The
centers are operated by the main factories or by subcontractors
and are segregated by gender to comply with religious and cultural
values. However, low pay and a lack of social benefits remain
issues for workers in the industry. |
