Do you mean better conditions in adult sweatshops? I would expect child workers would only be in better conditions if there is competition with their labor.
Then again, if adults can get more pay, they wouldn't need their kids to work. This would also likely lead to worse pay, since parents could afford to care less about that in proportion to conditions.
There were a few too many pronouns in that last sentence. Not sure what you mean.
If you give the adults more options as to what jobs they work at, they can make more money. If they can make more money, then they don't need their kids to make as much money. If they don't need their kids to make as much money, they will care more about working conditions than about pay.
