CHILD LABOR
Farmers in Ghana use child labor to help with
growing, harvesting, and transporting cocoa
beans. During the 2013-14 season, an estimated
2 million children were used for hazardous.
Increasing world demand and more intensive
farming of cocoa are reasons why the
exploitation of children continues today.
ECONOMIC INEQUALITY
Ghana is a world leader in cocoa production.
Nonetheless, it earns only 2% of the $100 billion
chocolate industry's profits. Most cocoa farmers
make less than a dollar a day – and many female
cocoa farmers make only around 30 cents a day.
