Date :Définition
An arrangement whereby partly processed goods are finished or made ready for further processing by persons, frequently women and children, working at home.
Note :
The arrangements are generally handled by an agent who pays on a piece work basis and then resells or returns the finished goods to the manufacturer. Industrial homework is common in those industries which require handwork and where the nature of the process permits the handling of the materials away from the plant. Serving, embroidery, the making of artificial flowers, toys paper and leather products, lend themselves to this type of operation. Many states regulate industrial homework since it tends toward "sweat shop" or bad tenant conditions and it is at least potentially harmful to young children who may be working at this type of operation. The Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 also deals with industrial homework.
