{'sweat labour': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'labourers': [2, 0, 0, 4], 'female labourers': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'child labour': [1, 0, 1, 5], 'wage discrimination': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'low wage': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'countries': [1, 0, 2, 6], 'goods': [0, 1, 5, 27]}

Sweat labour encompasses a broader range of exploitative working conditions and does not solely depend on gender-based
