Answer 2

The correct option is: "I. Workers are paid very low wages in both systems."

A maquiladora is a company that imports products without paying tariffs, whose product is sold in the country of origin of the raw material. This type of industry is characterized by poor working conditions, high turnover and low wages.

Sweatshops are frequent and abundant in developing countries or the third world, and especially in Asia, where the worker receives very low wages, manufacturing clothes, toys, footwear and other consumer goods.
