This article by the Huffington Post talks about some products that are the most produced using child labor. Some of these products include, cocoa, coffee, gold and even bricks. The article also talks about each country that the products are made from, some of the reoccurring countries behind China, India and a handful of African countries. This also gives insight into what kind of labor the children are being forced into, with 60% of child labor being used to produce agricultural goods.
This article gives me some insight on what kind of work the children are doing as well as what they are making and what countries are allowing this to happen. However this article doesn't call out any american companies on using these products being created using slave labor.
