Well that's just what the workers are paid. Add in materials, packing, shipping, storage and the retailers slice of the action and it's not quite the profit that was reported.

It's probable most football kit manufacturers exploit people in the poorer countries, same as designer clothes. I don't know anyone who buys only ethical clothing though.

Economies of scale Don Rogers Shop: When you are making 1,000,000 shirts it is cheaper to produce per unit than when you are making 5,000.
