===Government corruption and inadequate labour protection legislation===
Government corruption and inadequate labour protection legislation in developing countries have also contributed to the suffering of their employees. Weak law enforcement has attracted outside investment in these developing countries, which is a serious problem generating sweatshops.{{cn|date=April 2022}} Without reasonable law restrictions, outside investors can set up fashion manufacturing plants at a lower cost. According to Zamen (2012), governments in developing countries often fail to enforce safety standards in local factories because of corruption and weak law enforcement.<ref name=Zamen>{{cite web |last=Zamen |first=I. |date=2012 |title=Corruption and the fate of the people who make your clothes |work=Transparency International |access-date=September 20, 2017 |url=http://blog.transparency.org/2012/12/07/corruption-and-the-fate-of-the-people-who-makeyour-clothes/ }}{{Dead link|date=October 2022 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> These circumstances allow factories to provide dangerous working conditions for workers.

When Zamen (2012) said "corruption kills", sweatshops in developing countries would be the prime cases.<ref name=Zamen/>

In some places the government or media do not show the full picture. An example of this may be seen in Dubai where some labour camps do not have proper conditions for workers. If they protest, they can be deported if they are foreigners.<ref>{{Cite web|title=How did New York University uphold workers' rights during the construction and operation of its Abu Dhabi satellite campus?|url=https://www.business-humanrights.org/en/latest-news/how-did-new-york-university-uphold-workers-rights-during-the-construction-and-operation-of-its-abu-dhabi-satellite-campus/ |access-date=2021-09-07|website=Business & Human Rights Resource Centre|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Batty |first=David |url=https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2015/feb/10/migrants-united-arab-emirates-human-rights-watch|title=Migrants building UAE cultural hub 'risk abuse if they complain' |website=[[TheGuardian.com]]|date=10 February 2015}}</ref>
