and labor agents includes physical, psychological, and sexual abuse.

 Forced confinement in the workplace

 Non- payment of wages
 Excessively long working hours with no rest days
 Women and girls are trapped in situations of forced labor
 They have been trafficked into forced domestic work in conditions into slavery.

countries are environmental deterioration, unemployment, hunger, resource depletion, and
economic stagnation.

5. What were the advantages and disadvantages of global population?

A growing population can generate economic growth. The birth or more people means there
will be a greater number of parents investing in their youth. Increased purchases in products
such as food, clothing, education, related expenses, sporting goods and toys feed the economy.
Advantages of population growth are better economy, medical, agricultural and industrial
innovations. Keep humans from going extinct, new ideas and cultures. The disadvantages are
food and land shortages, poverty, pollution, conflict and war, and crime increase.
