I wish they’d stop saying this study was about sweatshops. Findings really interesting. But not about sweatshops https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2843595 …https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/857673223160422401 …

So? How do consumers' concerns about working conditions in some factories undermine the argument that some factories don't reduce poverty?
It doesn't. Point is language is pejorative, sensationalist. Why not say 'factories' Would not be OK to label workers who quit 'slackers'!

I concur that reporting shouldn't be sensationalist. But how inaccurate is it to call a factory a sweatshop if workers stay in poverty?

(I never use that language myself, as I think it's vague & unhelpful. But as a headline for a lay audience, I don't see a huge problem?)
