When Chocolate Profits Hide Child Slavery: Who Paid the Price?

More chocolate than ever and more children in danger: in 2018 researchers counted 1.48 million children doing hazardous work in West African cocoa fields while global cocoa production had risen 62%. How did an industry bringing in $100 billion a year allow farmers earning $0.50 a day and children working up to 100 hours a week to remain the backbone of its supply chain?
In this episode, we lay out the timeline from child recruitment at bus stations and Pulitzer-winning investigations to congressional votes and a voluntary industry agreement, and we ask how voluntary promises replaced binding laws - what did that choice cost, and who ultimately paid the price?
