The U.S. government recently issued a grant to Tulane University in New Orleans to fund a three year study of child labor in Africa. The grant more specifically is giving researchers money to study the Cocoa industry in western Africa, the two primary countries being Ghana and the Ivory coast. According to Tulane university the grant"will be used to measure trends in the worst forms of child labor in agriculture, including the cocoa sector in these countries"

Considering that these countries are plagued with child labor it is a good place to hold the studies, especially in the cocoa industry. Should the U.S. government be doing these studies? what will they find? where else should they fund these studies?
