A exploração da mão de obra no Fast Fashion sob a ótica da Teoria do Sistema Mundo

Abstract

This work aims to develop and expose the relationship between the Fast Fashion market model and an outsourcing of the low cost economy, consequently generating an exploitation of labor in underdeveloped countries. Thus, the present work addresses the exploitation of labor in the fashion industry, more specifically in the Fast Fashion market model, highlighting the effects caused by immediate production in the processes of manufacture, distribution and consumption. In addition, the World System Theory is used to illustrate the reasons to which the peripheral population is subjected to labor exploitation and the reason behind the acceptance of unworthy labor impositions. In addition, there is a correlation between both foundations where the Theory in question will assist in clarifying the production chain of the fast fashion phenomenon and its eminent labor exploitation, a condition analogous to slavery.
