A U.S. Congressman is advocating for enacting an embargo against Livonia, whose corporations use child labor in the manufacture of many of the nation's goods. If such an embargo were to be enacted, what would likely happen to the child laborers?
An embargo will reduce the demand for the goods that livonia is exporting to the US, this reduced demand will lead to a lower price of the good and at a lower price the wages of this child laborer will fall. they will be much poorer condition that they are right now,
