Many people are concerned with working conditions, especially situations such as child labor, slavery, low wages, working conditions, etc. And they want salaries to increase, people enrich, that we have more rights, to feel more free and able to realize our dreams.
The problem is that most of these people want to solve this problem with the wrong solution.
What happens in most cases, are people who imagine the situation as follows:
An employee receives a low salary, we will exemplify $ 1,000 for didactic purposes. And these people find this value very low and that he should receive $ 1,500. Then decide to pass a law, forcing, forcing that he receives $ 1,500.
That is, 1/3 of the workforce will be fired.
When you have the condition to run only $ 1,000, and this value raises for $ 1,500, you dismiss 1/3 and those who received $ 1,000, now receive $ 1,500 and you forces them to work on a higher pressure to achieve the same results which were being achieved with a greater number of employees.
Or, climb the salary of all, so that it can be paid, climb the price of the product being produced and at the end, the account was the same.
Or in another alternative, when you climb this cost, the companies that provide this service decide to take your companies to another country, depending on the size of the company or the niche it attends. In this way 3/3 lose employment, no more 1/3.
The problems mentioned in the first subparagraph exist, but the way of solving this is not forbid, it is not to force that it is otherwise, but release the market more and more.
Very often where we find this kind of work happening, we also find low free market, or a history of civil war, or a history of socialism in the country, or even a free economy in its first days of implatization (hypothesis that there was the voluntary regulation of the market).
Bureaucrats believe that laws will extinguish things like child labor, and in blinking we will be in full development, after all someone signed a piece of paper saying that it is forbidden, and the other factories that exploit children will send them aboras, after all, A law was passed.
Development happens when you have a new condition, better than the previous one.
Several conditions have improved with the course of technological evolution and not in the course of a signature on a piece of paper made by a politician.
Today, for example, you need fewer people and fewer times to reap 1 hectare of apple orchard than 100 years ago. And that was not because some politician decreed something, but because the means of optimizing this harvest, and the farmer decided freely if he would use his local currency to acquire what was developed, or not. The choice was pure and simply from it, no one else.
In this way there is no way to improve things instantly, only with development throughout the days, months and years.
Hong Kong and Singapore are great examples.
