Have there been significant improvements/reforms in asian sweatshop factories in the past 5 years?

Question

As you can guess, it's for a school project, and such.

A research paper on reforms in asian sweatshop factories. I'm trying to develop a thesis statement, but I'm not sure if there HAVE been many significant reforms, or not enough... Trying to get some research/notes/webpages.
Website URLs/articles included in answers would be great.

Thanks very much!

Do a search on the Dept. of State government website and see if they have anything.

I know that in China some things have changed, but not enough. Not too long ago, a class of school children were killedand injured making fireworks during school, which they were forced to do. 95% of fireworks in the U.S. are made in China.

If you are interested, e-mail me and I will send you my research paper on whether U.S. businesses should do business in China with regard to human rights issues. It may give you some thoughts and leads.
