The 5X JOBS Model
A Sustainable Business Solution
Abstract
As consumers in a global economy, our purchases play a vital role in the lives of those who make the things we enjoy. Current data from the Global Slavery Index states that there are 2.8 billion people living in poverty in our world today. This level of extreme poverty has led to 35.8 million people trapped in slavery, with 40 percent of them living in India. The fashion industry is a massive source of enslavement in the country of India; the going rate is about two dollars a day for a 12-hour workday. Many people are trapped in the injustice of unfair wages, inhumane treatment, and forced labor. The sex industry is an equally oppressive source of enslavement in India. Sonagachi in Kolkata, India is the largest red light district in Asia. Ten thousand women are trapped in a life of disease and despair. There are an additional 10,000 women enslaved in sex trafficking in India’s West Bengal region.
