The Indian children reportedly found making clothes for Gap Inc. should be reunited with their families and compensated by the government, activists said Monday amid a spreading scandal about the use of child labor by the international clothing chain. Child labor remains a widespread problem in India, despite the country's economic boom and its growing wealth. Chandler said Gap requires its suppliers to guarantee that they will not use child labor to produce garments. Gap stopped working with 23 factories last year over violations uncovered by its inspectors. Hopefully, by not working with the factories that use child labor, it will influence India to stop it.
