O modelo de produção fast fashion e a exploração da mão de obra

Abstract

The Fast Fashion production model, characterized by rapid production cycles and fashion consumption at affordable prices, has been widely adopted by the global textile industry. With this in mind, the coursework in question investigates the impact of Fast Fashion on the exploitation of labor, highlighting the precarious conditions faced by workers in the production chain. The study explores the practices of low wages, long working hours, lack of safety at work and absence of social benefits, highlighting how these elements are inherent to the Fast Fashion system. Throughout the study, relevant cases and data are analyzed to examine the complex relationships between fashion companies, suppliers and workers. In addition, the ethical and moral issues associated with the exploitation of labor in the context of Fast Fashion are discussed, considering the responsibilities of companies and the need for significant changes in industrial practices. The study, conducted through a qualitative literature review, highlights the importance of consumer awareness of the production conditions behind the clothes they buy and emphasizes the need for stricter regulations and social responsibility initiatives on the part of companies. By understanding the ramifications of labor exploitation in the fast fashion model, this paper aims to offer valuable analysis and considerations for scholars, industry professionals and consumers interested in promoting more ethical and sustainable fashion
