0:00:02 > 0:00:05These five kids have more gadgets and clothes

0:00:05 > 0:00:06than they could ever wish for.

0:00:06 > 0:00:10But do they know where their stuff comes from, how it's made

0:00:10 > 0:00:13and what life is like for the workers who produce it?

0:00:13 > 0:00:17We've brought five kids to the other side of the world to find out.

0:00:18 > 0:00:20Can they swap places with the workers of Asia...

0:00:20 > 0:00:23- I can't touch bugs. - ..sleep in their homes...

0:00:23 > 0:00:27I think it's kind of disgusting, a little hole in the ground.

0:00:27 > 0:00:29And they don't even have any toilet roll.

0:00:29 > 0:00:31..report to real bosses...

0:00:31 > 0:00:34- I don't want you to ask questions when you're working.- Sorry.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36This is not a game. This is real work.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39..and when they see firsthand what genuine hardship is...

0:00:39 > 0:00:42They're still humans, and they've got to eat this.

0:00:42 > 0:00:46..will they think again about how easy they have it at home?

0:00:46 > 0:00:50Maybe when she comes back she'll be just a little bit more grateful

0:00:50 > 0:00:52for all the things she has got.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54They are fashion mad Milly...

0:00:54 > 0:00:57I can't wear the same outfit more than a few times.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59People look at me and say, "She hasn't got any clothes."

0:00:59 > 0:01:01..super-confident Jonas...

0:01:01 > 0:01:05Most of the time I see no reason why I shouldn't express an opinion.

0:01:05 > 0:01:06..gadget girl Nia...

0:01:06 > 0:01:08I go on my Blackberry every single day,

0:01:08 > 0:01:10except for when I'm at school.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12..principled Nathaniel...

0:01:12 > 0:01:14If you just wear it once, there's no point.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16..and have-it-all Emma.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19Our house is decked out with pretty much every gadget

0:01:19 > 0:01:20you can really need.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22That sounds really spoilt.

0:01:22 > 0:01:23My name is Stacey Dooley,

0:01:23 > 0:01:25and I've seen poverty around the world.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28But now I'm taking these five kids for a reality check

0:01:28 > 0:01:31in the scorching heat of Asia.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38SCREAMING

0:01:40 > 0:01:42It just makes me think,

0:01:42 > 0:01:46Nia, you've got it so good and you just waste it.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48Today, they're in Bandung City, where they'll see

0:01:48 > 0:01:52the living conditions of those beyond the factory gates...

0:01:52 > 0:01:54That's 1800, London.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57..and get their chance to put a factory boss on the spot.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00Have you ever thought about raising the minimum wage for your workers?

0:02:06 > 0:02:09Last time around, the five British kids learned the work

0:02:09 > 0:02:13that goes into making cuddly toys.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15So much more to stuffing a pig than you thought.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17No-one did very well...

0:02:17 > 0:02:19Let's bury him!

0:02:19 > 0:02:22..particularly Jonas and Milly, who acted up...

0:02:22 > 0:02:25- Milly, you know she's watching you? - ..got demoted...

0:02:25 > 0:02:26Not good enough.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28..and called into the boardroom by the factory bosses.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31With all due respect, we couldn't disagree more.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33'Only Nia could do the work...'

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Nia, well done!

0:02:35 > 0:02:37'..and she was rewarded for her efforts.'

0:02:37 > 0:02:39There's your wages.

0:02:39 > 0:02:44Thank you! That's really sweet! Thank you.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46But it's a new day

0:02:46 > 0:02:49and things are about to get a lot tougher for the group.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53I'm taking our five to one of the hugest clothing factories

0:02:53 > 0:02:57in the whole of Southeast Asia, where they will genuinely be working

0:02:57 > 0:03:01alongside thousands of other workers on the production line.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06I want to get the wage, not because of the money,

0:03:06 > 0:03:08just because it shows that I did the best.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11I really want to prove myself this time

0:03:11 > 0:03:13after last time's not-so-good run.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15We're all out there to win the wage.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19But to get paid this time around,

0:03:19 > 0:03:21the kids will have to do some serious hard graft.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27Occupying a site the size of 16 football pitches,

0:03:27 > 0:03:31the successful Cartex textile factory is massive.

0:03:31 > 0:03:35Our group will be clocking in with the 10,000 strong workforce,

0:03:35 > 0:03:38helping make T-shirts, tracksuit and socks

0:03:38 > 0:03:41destined for the shops around the world.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43And, of course, the UK.

0:03:44 > 0:03:49The kids will be working for marketing manager Vijay Nathani.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52I want to introduce you to someone very important.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55This is Vijay. I'm Stacey, it's a pleasure to meet you.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58- Nice to meet you, I'm Jonas. - I'm Vijay. Please come.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05OK, kids, I would like you to take this quite seriously,

0:04:05 > 0:04:07to enjoy this and work together with us,

0:04:07 > 0:04:10because we are making a product of very high quality

0:04:10 > 0:04:14and we want to give you some feeling of accomplishment to you guys.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16OK? Let's start.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21The factory's involved in every step of garment production

0:04:21 > 0:04:25and makes about 370 million items of clothing every year.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Whoah, I want to do that, that looks fun.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32Here employees get paid above minimum wage.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36But, in return, they're expected to work incredibly fast.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39Each job has an hourly target which must be met.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42We are making 30-35,000 T-shirts per day,

0:04:42 > 0:04:45and the garments you will see on the shop floor, we are exporting

0:04:45 > 0:04:48to the best brands all over the world.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51And the best brands demand the highest of standards.

0:04:51 > 0:04:55Vijay needs to know if anyone has the skills to be promoted

0:04:55 > 0:04:59on to a real production line and who is only good for demotion.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02See, this comes from the machine, and we're going to clean it.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04He's set the kids a simple task

0:05:04 > 0:05:07tidying up designs that have been stitched on

0:05:07 > 0:05:09to see what level of work they're capable of.

0:05:09 > 0:05:13When you do this, you should be able to do at least one panel a minute,

0:05:13 > 0:05:15so maybe after one hour we see.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18Let's go, Nathaniel.

0:05:18 > 0:05:19Let's go, girlies.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24- Do we need to take out all the little bits, as well?- Yeah.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Any open stitches or threads have to be cleaned out.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29It's actually really tricky.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31It's actually not, I think I'm going to win.

0:05:31 > 0:05:32Get going.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34He's such a motivator.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36OK, let's complete the task.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39Thinking back about it, I realise everywhere I did go wrong

0:05:39 > 0:05:42and everywhere I could have improved it.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44So, today, I'm just going to try

0:05:44 > 0:05:46and put the wrongs I did yesterday to right.

0:05:48 > 0:05:49One bundle.

0:05:49 > 0:05:53Because me and you have been paired, we want to win.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55I am adamant that I need to get best.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58I'm trying to do it as quickly as possible,

0:05:58 > 0:06:01but trying to make it precise.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07We're halfway through the embroidery task now,

0:06:07 > 0:06:10and I've got to say our five do still seem very focused.

0:06:10 > 0:06:14I think the girls have probably got the edge over the boys right now.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17I'm really struggling to get inside the letters.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20- I'm guessing I'll speed up eventually.- Good, last five minutes.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23As the long shift comes to an end,

0:06:23 > 0:06:27the group begin to find it difficult to work quickly and accurately.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30- This isn't going too well for me. - I'm finding it hard to do it fast.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33I know he's going to have a really close look at them all.

0:06:33 > 0:06:37You can't tell anyone, but I think the girls will probably win,

0:06:37 > 0:06:40so I am secretly really trying to beat them.

0:06:42 > 0:06:46Has anyone shown enough potential to join the factory workers

0:06:46 > 0:06:48on a real production line?

0:06:51 > 0:06:55OK, boys and girls, time is over, tools down.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57I worked so hard.

0:06:57 > 0:07:01Vijay and his quality-controller judge the kids' handiwork.

0:07:01 > 0:07:06Has anyone come close to the quality and quantity of work he expects?

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Let me tell you, against the target which was set at 60 pieces,

0:07:13 > 0:07:16you have just managed 50%.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19If you're going to work in an industry of this type,

0:07:19 > 0:07:22a 50% performance is very bad.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24You might get downgraded or maybe get sacked.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27You have to be hard-working, you have to be serious.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30Otherwise, I don't think so.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32The future is not good for you guys.

0:07:32 > 0:07:36We all put, like, all our efforts into it, and then to say,

0:07:36 > 0:07:37"We're still not good enough,"

0:07:37 > 0:07:39it's because it's only our first day,

0:07:39 > 0:07:41we'd never done anything like this before.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44Do you understand Vijay's point of view as a boss?

0:07:44 > 0:07:46Yeah, I understand his point of view,

0:07:46 > 0:07:49but obviously these people do it every single day.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51- A bit disheartening?- Yeah.

0:07:51 > 0:07:54It's like, there's no point putting effort in

0:07:54 > 0:07:57if you're only going to get, "You would have got sacked."

0:07:57 > 0:08:01So, what Vijay has said has actually made you feel less enthusiastic?

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Unless you actually get the numbers,

0:08:03 > 0:08:06you don't get the money at the end, so...

0:08:06 > 0:08:08without targets, nothing'll ever get done.

0:08:08 > 0:08:12It's a harsh lesson in the realities of factory work.

0:08:12 > 0:08:16It's not just about effort, but also results.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20No-one's reached Vijay's tough standards,

0:08:20 > 0:08:22but the girls have shown promise.

0:08:22 > 0:08:26Unfortunately for the boys, a lot of their work's been rejected

0:08:26 > 0:08:27and they get demoted.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30So, boys, because you lost the task,

0:08:30 > 0:08:34you're going to get a nightshift in the sock factory...

0:08:34 > 0:08:35- No way! - ..and see how you get on.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37No rest for the wicked.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39Once a loser, always a loser.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44The working day may have ended,

0:08:44 > 0:08:49but for the demoted boys, there's still plenty to do.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52- NATHANIEL:- You can smell the socks! Good and fresh!

0:08:54 > 0:08:58They're joining 1,000 other workers on the nightshift -

0:08:58 > 0:09:02eight hours pairing up socks and bundling them into packs.

0:09:05 > 0:09:09We're not very strong and the hours are long.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11This work is unsatisfactory.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18As the hours pass on the long night shift,

0:09:18 > 0:09:23Jonas begins to realise just how gruelling factory work can be.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25When you see it at night and it's just silent,

0:09:25 > 0:09:27it's all just a production line,

0:09:27 > 0:09:30just work, work, work, as hard as you can.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33I just feel sorry for these people, I really do.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35I understand the whole concept that

0:09:35 > 0:09:38running a factory like this is just business,

0:09:38 > 0:09:40that's how the world runs, but we weren't told by a boss

0:09:40 > 0:09:45a couple of hours ago that this seven and a half hour period of work,

0:09:45 > 0:09:49like intense work, would be for just a few pounds,

0:09:49 > 0:09:52and it doesn't seem like a particularly luxurious life.

0:09:54 > 0:09:55Jonas may not enjoy it,

0:09:55 > 0:10:00but jobs in Cartex are highly regarded and much sought after.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05I've arranged for Emma and Nia to visit the home of an employee

0:10:05 > 0:10:08from another textile factory,

0:10:08 > 0:10:11so they can learn more about life away from work.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14Oh, is this each person's room?

0:10:14 > 0:10:18Urgh, this is disgusting. I don't want to touch anything here.

0:10:18 > 0:10:22Every year, thousands of young Indonesians leave their families

0:10:22 > 0:10:23for work in a city.

0:10:23 > 0:10:27- It smells bad.- I'm not even trying to smell anything.

0:10:27 > 0:10:32Many of those workers end up in boarding houses like this.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35It's really, really small and really cooped up.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38Yeah. There's loads of plates and toothbrushes just lying around.

0:10:38 > 0:10:42Look, there's just a hole in the floor. It's so dirty.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Oh, my god, that's the shower.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50- Hi.- Hi.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53Emma and Nia are visiting 21-year-old Ay,

0:10:53 > 0:10:56who three years ago left home in search of a better life.

0:10:56 > 0:11:01TRANSLATION: Those are photos with my friends.

0:11:01 > 0:11:06This is the wardrobe where I keep my clothes.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08This is where I keep my food.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12It's got to be the smallest kitchen I've ever seen.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14Yes, this is my small house.

0:11:14 > 0:11:18I can't believe you can fit all your clothes in a wardrobe that big.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21My wardrobe's much bigger.

0:11:24 > 0:11:28Emma's home life in Surrey couldn't be more different to Ay's.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30With her family, this privileged 14-year-old

0:11:30 > 0:11:32loves living the good life.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35I think I've pretty much got everything I want,

0:11:35 > 0:11:39but I do want the new Blackberry, new laptop and the new iPod,

0:11:39 > 0:11:42but I know that that just sounds really spoilt.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45This fashion lover certainly doesn't want for anything

0:11:45 > 0:11:46in the clothing department.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49This is my wardrobe.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52'I just love putting an outfit together and making it my own.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54'When I wear clothes that I love,

0:11:54 > 0:11:57'it makes me feel really good about myself.'

0:11:57 > 0:11:58Shopping's my favourite thing.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01I go round, I'm like, "Let's just get everything!"

0:12:03 > 0:12:07It feels like she comes back every weekend with bags full of clothes

0:12:07 > 0:12:10and I can't be certain, but I'm pretty sure

0:12:10 > 0:12:13there's clothes upstairs she's never worn.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16So, how does Dad Paul think Emma will cope?

0:12:18 > 0:12:21If she sees poverty, she'll find it potentially quite distressing

0:12:21 > 0:12:23and quite upsetting.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26I think she'll possibly be quite shocked actually.

0:12:28 > 0:12:32TRANSLATION: So, what do you think about my house?

0:12:32 > 0:12:34Your house

0:12:34 > 0:12:37or whatever it's called,

0:12:37 > 0:12:39it's just the basics

0:12:39 > 0:12:43and it's a lot different to anything in England.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45It's strange for us to see this.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48We've never seen anything like this before.

0:12:48 > 0:12:52It's such an adjustment. If I had to live somewhere like this,

0:12:52 > 0:12:54I wouldn't have the luxuries I have

0:12:54 > 0:12:57and I don't think I'd cope very well.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59So, do your family live nearby or far away?

0:12:59 > 0:13:02My family live in another town.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05- Do you see them very often? - Not very often.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08Once every three to six months.

0:13:08 > 0:13:12I feel lonely, but I have friends and neighbours here,

0:13:12 > 0:13:14so I can be happy.

0:13:14 > 0:13:18And do you work at the factory just to support yourself?

0:13:19 > 0:13:21No, I don't work for myself.

0:13:21 > 0:13:25My wages also support my family.

0:13:25 > 0:13:29In fact, Ay sends more than half her money to her parents

0:13:29 > 0:13:32to help look after her six brothers and sisters.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34BOTH: Terima kasih!

0:13:34 > 0:13:36TRANSLATION FROM INDONESIAN:

0:13:37 > 0:13:39And once the bills have been paid,

0:13:39 > 0:13:42she barely has enough money for herself.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44- Thank you. - Thank you, bye.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46'Her little room is so small.'

0:13:46 > 0:13:49Her kitchen, her bedroom,

0:13:49 > 0:13:52her lounge, her dining room...

0:13:52 > 0:13:55- Everything in one. - ..it's everything in one

0:13:55 > 0:13:59and it's not even like half the size of my bedroom.

0:13:59 > 0:14:03So it must be so hard to live somewhere like that.

0:14:03 > 0:14:06With that money, if she didn't send it to her parents,

0:14:06 > 0:14:10she probably could afford a bigger room or some more clothes.

0:14:10 > 0:14:14But she's making the sacrifice for the benefit of other people.

0:14:14 > 0:14:15I think that's really sweet.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24It's early morning day two,

0:14:24 > 0:14:27and the girls return to work in the sock factory.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31# We've got four socks, we've got more than four socks

0:14:31 > 0:14:34# We've got six socks, we've got eight socks,

0:14:34 > 0:14:35# We've got ten socks, oh oh! #

0:14:35 > 0:14:37Yesterday the girls were promoted,

0:14:37 > 0:14:40so they're joining a real factory production line.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42Wow!

0:14:42 > 0:14:46Loading socks onto a machine that steams them into shape.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50The only thing is it's really hot and that noise might get annoying.

0:14:50 > 0:14:51MECHANICAL CLANKING

0:14:51 > 0:14:54This work's all about speed.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56If they can't keep up with the conveyor belt,

0:14:56 > 0:14:58sock production is disrupted

0:14:58 > 0:15:00and the workers around them slowed down.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03Ah!

0:15:04 > 0:15:08Time on the factory floor has made Emma think more about Ay.

0:15:08 > 0:15:11She's probably doing something like this and working hard.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14We find it so challenging, but they have to put up with this

0:15:14 > 0:15:16'every single day.'

0:15:16 > 0:15:18Ah, this is so hard!

0:15:18 > 0:15:22'They know if they don't do the work, then they won't get paid

0:15:22 > 0:15:25'and they won't have food. That plus the heat, you're doing so much work'

0:15:25 > 0:15:28and you're not even living in a house, it's a room.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31The workers here usually hit a daily target

0:15:31 > 0:15:33of one million socks.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36But, with the girls joining the team,

0:15:36 > 0:15:38it's not long before there's a problem.

0:15:38 > 0:15:42TRANSLATION: I understand they are new to this,

0:15:42 > 0:15:44but I don't think they are going to improve.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46They should concentrate more,

0:15:46 > 0:15:49be more serious and work harder.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53'One hour in and the day shift is failing to reach its target

0:15:53 > 0:15:57'and it's up to me to break the news.'

0:15:57 > 0:15:59I chatted with the lady working alongside you.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01She used the word "Terrible."

0:16:01 > 0:16:04That's a bit of an exaggeration if you ask me.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06She thought you maybe didn't do as well

0:16:06 > 0:16:09as all the other Indonesian workers. You didn't hit targets,

0:16:09 > 0:16:12the work wasn't as good as she would ordinarily like.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14I'm not liking all the criticism.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17Well it's not even criticism, it's just insults.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19She's just being honest. She's saying her job

0:16:19 > 0:16:23was a lot more difficult because you three struggled a bit, I think.

0:16:23 > 0:16:27But you know what? Everybody always tells you to try your best

0:16:27 > 0:16:29and that's the best you can do.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32But we try our best and they say, "You're not good enough."

0:16:32 > 0:16:35- Why do you think that is?- It's business, isn't it?- The profits.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38So you have to have the right attitude

0:16:38 > 0:16:40and you have to be brilliant at the job.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42That's how cut throat it is here.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50"You want to go out for a date?" "Sure, baby!"

0:16:50 > 0:16:52Mwah!

0:16:52 > 0:16:55Leaving the girls in socks, I'm taking the boys

0:16:55 > 0:16:57around the streets of Bandung city,

0:16:57 > 0:17:00just outside the factory.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03So boys, I've brought you to this particular spot

0:17:03 > 0:17:07because I just thought you're not genuinely understanding

0:17:07 > 0:17:10what life is really like for an Indonesian worker.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13This is how they live, this is the environment they live in.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16If you're able to see both sides of their life,

0:17:16 > 0:17:18you might be able to understand more.

0:17:18 > 0:17:22'More than 15,000 people live in this packed area

0:17:22 > 0:17:26'and I think the boys might be shocked by the experience.'

0:17:28 > 0:17:31Have you been anywhere like this before?

0:17:31 > 0:17:35No. This is a lot of people in a really small, unhygienic place.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37Hi.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39So what do you think about the surroundings?

0:17:39 > 0:17:42I mean, look at this. This is someone's home.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45- It's so basic.- Really medieval. I don't think I'd be able to cope.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48It's just really shocking and really, really bad

0:17:48 > 0:17:51to think that massive hours, really skilled people,

0:17:51 > 0:17:55lots of training, come back to live in a place that's disgusting.

0:17:57 > 0:18:00Whilst stood outside, the boys spot the homeowner

0:18:00 > 0:18:03and go over to find out more.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06Do you own this or do you rent it or is from the factory?

0:18:06 > 0:18:09TRANSLATION: This house is owned by my parents.

0:18:09 > 0:18:14So, how many people live here and how many kids do you have?

0:18:14 > 0:18:17Cos I'm guessing, these aren't all your kids?

0:18:17 > 0:18:20Four people. Two children, me and my husband.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23Are we allowed to go in your house? Is that possible?

0:18:23 > 0:18:26Yes, you can come into my house, but it's dirty and messy.

0:18:26 > 0:18:31No problem. My house is always messy. Clothes everywhere!

0:18:31 > 0:18:34- It's like a little dolls' house. - Oh, it smells.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37This is the living room,

0:18:37 > 0:18:40but we use it as a dining room, watch TV here,

0:18:40 > 0:18:41and sometimes sleep here too.

0:18:41 > 0:18:45- Is this your kitchen? - Yeah.- Oh, right.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48She's cooking for a family of four, with one saucepan

0:18:48 > 0:18:50- and a plug-in gas thing. - She must do it on her knees,

0:18:50 > 0:18:52it's so small.

0:18:52 > 0:18:56There'll be nowhere to prepare, to chop, apart from the floor

0:18:56 > 0:18:59and that looks obviously really dirty.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01I think that's even beyond

0:19:01 > 0:19:05Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares standards.

0:19:05 > 0:19:07The woman's home is a far cry

0:19:07 > 0:19:11from the one enjoyed by Nathaniel and his family.

0:19:11 > 0:19:16From Goole, Yorkshire, he's the only one of the group with a regular job.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19I get £15 a week from my paper round

0:19:19 > 0:19:22and I can get really what I want to get with my money

0:19:22 > 0:19:25without having to ask my Dad for stuff.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27I think it's important for people of my age

0:19:27 > 0:19:29to actually earn a living,

0:19:29 > 0:19:32because you're going to have to do it when you're older.

0:19:32 > 0:19:37And the hard work for Nathaniel doesn't stop once he's home.

0:19:37 > 0:19:40I wash up every day and that's my job around the house.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43My parents will say, "It's time to wash up, Nathaniel."

0:19:43 > 0:19:45But if they like weren't here

0:19:45 > 0:19:48and there was a big pile of washing-up, then I think I'd do it.

0:19:48 > 0:19:52For years, Nathaniel's been dreaming of globetrotting.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55Nathaniel's always said he wants to travel round the world.

0:19:55 > 0:19:58He'll point to places on the globe where he wants to go.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01My globe's quite important to me.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03It shows me places I might see when I'm older.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06It's like a life skill, to be able to compare cultures

0:20:06 > 0:20:08and be able to see life in different places.

0:20:08 > 0:20:11It will be a good growing-up experience.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13He's never seen people that have got nothing.

0:20:13 > 0:20:17To go and see how they live would be quite an eye-opener for him.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20- Bon appetit.- Bon appetit.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22Seeing people in Indonesia, The Philippines

0:20:22 > 0:20:26that don't have the basic stuff you need to survive like clean water,

0:20:26 > 0:20:29'I think that it would quite upset me.'

0:20:32 > 0:20:36'I always complain that my kitchen's really small. But after seeing this,

0:20:36 > 0:20:40'I don't think I will again. My kitchen's four times bigger.'

0:20:40 > 0:20:43- Where is your water from? - TRANSLATION: There's a well,

0:20:43 > 0:20:46but we only use the water for showering.

0:20:46 > 0:20:51Does the well water have more disease in, would you say?

0:20:51 > 0:20:55The water from the well is yellow, so we don't use it for cooking

0:20:55 > 0:20:59and I don't wash the kids with it, because I'm worried

0:20:59 > 0:21:01it will cause skin problems.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04This is bad, I was under the impression that Indonesia,

0:21:04 > 0:21:06because it's a developing place,

0:21:06 > 0:21:08they could turn on their taps and get water.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10But yeah, it's really bad here.

0:21:10 > 0:21:15To come here and think that they would have to use yellow water

0:21:15 > 0:21:19that's obviously full of disease, it makes me really upset.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24It is unfair because we can go home after,

0:21:24 > 0:21:29like not a hard day at school and be able to relax,

0:21:29 > 0:21:33when they work so much harder and have nothing to come home to.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35- Oh, is that sewage?- What do you think this is?

0:21:35 > 0:21:36- Sewage.- It stinks.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38Is this poo?

0:21:38 > 0:21:41Fancy a bite to eat?

0:21:41 > 0:21:43That's 1800s London.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46This is an open sewer running through the side

0:21:46 > 0:21:49- of the neighbourhood. - That's not healthy at all.

0:21:49 > 0:21:53'And near to the sewer, something you'll find anywhere in Britain.'

0:21:53 > 0:21:56So lads, this is the corner shop.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58Whoa, this is mental.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01'This one's like nothing they've seen before.'

0:22:01 > 0:22:06- Is this just like intestines? - I'd be vegetarian if I moved here.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08- Fancy any of that lettuce? - No, thanks.

0:22:08 > 0:22:12It's got fly poo everywhere, little dots of fly poo.

0:22:12 > 0:22:16I'm really shocked at this stall. All the kids are really skinny,

0:22:16 > 0:22:19they've all like got sunken faces and maybe this is why.

0:22:19 > 0:22:23Is this where everyone from all around the block buys their food?

0:22:23 > 0:22:24Yeah.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26Being here, without sounding too snobby,

0:22:26 > 0:22:30is really bad and makes you like foods anywhere else.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33Even my Mum's cooking is actually not too bad.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36I'm never going to be able to look at anything

0:22:36 > 0:22:39in my local supermarket the same way again.

0:22:39 > 0:22:43Even though they are 7,000 miles away, they're still humans

0:22:43 > 0:22:45and they've got to eat this.

0:22:48 > 0:22:49I want to leave.

0:22:54 > 0:22:57The boys are beginning to understand

0:22:57 > 0:23:00it's the demand for cheap clothes in the West

0:23:00 > 0:23:04that's behind the low wages in Asia.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07I know that we buy goods for really cheap in England.

0:23:07 > 0:23:11So if we're paying £2 for a toy, that goes £1.50 to the retailer

0:23:11 > 0:23:16and then eventually squeezes down till you get so little money

0:23:16 > 0:23:17for the actual worker.

0:23:17 > 0:23:21As a good old Brit, I can relate to the fact that we love a bargain.

0:23:21 > 0:23:25But it just goes to show that what's good for us

0:23:25 > 0:23:27is really bad for these people here.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33I think it's partly the Western world's fault

0:23:33 > 0:23:35for wanting cheap goods, that these people

0:23:35 > 0:23:39have got to be paid not as much as they should.

0:23:39 > 0:23:43I would rather pay more for like a pair of five socks

0:23:43 > 0:23:46than think that these people are going to go home

0:23:46 > 0:23:48to a one-bedroomed house

0:23:48 > 0:23:50with not enough money in their pockets.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53The job is hard and they should be paid more for it.

0:23:58 > 0:23:59Guys, get in there.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02'With their time here nearly over,

0:24:02 > 0:24:04'the five Brits have one final chance'

0:24:04 > 0:24:07to prove they can match the speed and efficiency

0:24:07 > 0:24:09of the Indonesian workers.

0:24:09 > 0:24:11They'll be given a box with the same amount of socks.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13All they have to do is turn it inside out

0:24:13 > 0:24:15and put it in the pile.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17Let's see how easy it is.

0:24:18 > 0:24:22The children's challenge is to make sure there's a ready

0:24:22 > 0:24:25supply of socks for the steaming machine.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28And straightaway, the kids all get off to a flyer,

0:24:28 > 0:24:30desperate to earn that wage.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34# You girls are going to lose, bling, bling,

0:24:34 > 0:24:36# Cos we're going to win this thing.

0:24:36 > 0:24:40# Hey, hey, hey, hey, hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy. #

0:24:41 > 0:24:45After being stung by criticism in their earlier sock task,

0:24:45 > 0:24:50the girls are determined not to let their Indonesian colleagues down.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53They're focussed, single-minded and ruthlessly efficient...

0:24:56 > 0:24:57Oh! Oh, it came out.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59Unlike the boys.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04How are you finding the heat, Emma? It's hot in here.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06Yeah, I don't care about the heat.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08- Nia, feel like you're going to win? - Yeah.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11You guys seem really, really focussed on this one.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13- Yeah.- I'll leave you to it. - Thanks, bye.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16Good luck, girls.

0:25:16 > 0:25:18The girls' hard work is paying off.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21They're keeping pace with the production line.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24- One after the other...- I've won, I've finished!

0:25:24 > 0:25:26..they quickly complete the task.

0:25:26 > 0:25:30- Finished! - Well done, Nia. Well done.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33Leaving the boys to battle it out.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36How did you do all this and them in that time?

0:25:38 > 0:25:41I'm going to be last. Well, apart from you.

0:25:45 > 0:25:49So, as Nathaniel and Jonas finish off their task,

0:25:49 > 0:25:52the group's time at the factory comes to an end.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59But before they go,

0:25:59 > 0:26:02Vijay calls everyone into the boardroom for his final assessment.

0:26:09 > 0:26:13By the final task, the girls did match their Indonesian colleagues.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15But has anyone done enough to impress?

0:26:19 > 0:26:22So, gang, end of the second day.

0:26:22 > 0:26:26Our time at this factory has come to an end.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28ALL: Aw!

0:26:28 > 0:26:31- So, Vijay... - Yes.

0:26:31 > 0:26:32I'm keen to know, out of our five,

0:26:32 > 0:26:35are there any that have particularly shone for you?

0:26:35 > 0:26:38I would say that Nia, Emma and Milly...

0:26:38 > 0:26:40- Yes! - ..they started excellently.

0:26:40 > 0:26:44They did well and they applied themselves very fast.

0:26:44 > 0:26:45Yes!

0:26:45 > 0:26:47And this is what you would have earned...

0:26:47 > 0:26:50- Thank you. - ..over the past two days.

0:26:50 > 0:26:54- So have a nose and see what you think.- Thank you.

0:26:54 > 0:26:58You've got just under £8. That's just under four quid a day.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00This is the last time that we're going to spend time

0:27:00 > 0:27:03with Vijay, so is there anything you want to ask him?

0:27:03 > 0:27:06Any questions you've got?

0:27:06 > 0:27:11Have you ever thought about raising the minimum wage for your workers?

0:27:11 > 0:27:15Yes, we do. In fact, it is done every six months. Let me tell you,

0:27:15 > 0:27:19if the Government says the minimum wage is £100,

0:27:19 > 0:27:20we are giving 20% more.

0:27:20 > 0:27:24Would you say the minimum wage is enough to survive on?

0:27:24 > 0:27:28Yes they have sufficient. We give them additional facility.

0:27:28 > 0:27:32They can buy water from here, we give them transportation allowance.

0:27:32 > 0:27:36- OK.- Because, what we want is the workers to be happy.

0:27:36 > 0:27:38If they are happy, their performance is good

0:27:38 > 0:27:40and the company will also perform.

0:27:40 > 0:27:44- Ah, that's nice. - I've got a question.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46Can I buy some socks?

0:27:49 > 0:27:51Coming up next time...

0:27:51 > 0:27:52- Excited?- Yeah.

0:27:52 > 0:27:54'The group meet their toughest boss yet.'

0:27:54 > 0:27:56I need 6 metres of this. Do your mathematics.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59Tensions run high in the jewellery factory.

0:27:59 > 0:28:01- What will I do with this now? - So sorry.

0:28:01 > 0:28:04- He really tries. - It's not good enough.

0:28:04 > 0:28:07'And the kids get back to nature with village life.'

0:28:07 > 0:28:09- Are there any bugs?- A spider.
