Will AI or increasing automation meaningfully affect sweatshops?
https://blog.gitnux.com/sweatshop-statistics/
A 2011 study found that from 2006 to 2010, the percentage of sweatshops globally increased by 29%.
The US Department of Labor has identified sweatshop labor in 77 countries’ goods.
The global sweatshop industry is worth an estimated $1.5 trillion per year.
This market will resolve YES if a news article, report, or relevant wikipedia page or similar is posted to the comments indicating that AI or Automation have caused a meaningful (15% or greater) reduction in sweatshop labor by 2035.
Metrics Used:
This reduction can either be a >= 15% decrease in number of sweatshops, number of countries with sweatshop labor, or estimated industry value.
If no such comment is posted by market close this will resolve NO.
I will post a comment if I find a relevant article myself.
I will NOT bet in this market.

Do we have any more recent stats?
Also
This reduction can either be a >= 15% decrease in number of sweatshops, number of countries with sweatshop labor, or estimated industry value.
What is the reduction being measured from, i.e. 15% decrease in number of sweatshops etc from when?
@firstuserhere Can either find raw numbers or post an article with a headline saying a relative reduction. Anyone can find more recent numbers and post them as well.
what if they reduce to those targets (i.e., ~65 or less countries) without it being directly or solely attributed to AI?
@SneakySly Thankyou! That makes it a little less likely IMO but probably still underbought, adjusted accordingly.
