I agree with you that it is not fair for such small children to work but Perhaps there is another reality that you seem to overlook.....
The 9 yr old who is making those soccer balls has 4 siblings to feed.... That 9 yr old provides for the entire family.
If you (read the western world) doesn't buy that soccer ball, those 4 siblings will
most likely starve to death....
