I would say false because there have been reports and cases highlighting the presence of forced labor in supply chains of developed economies.

I think it's false because while there are regulations, there are also loopholes that can be exploited by unscrupulous businesses.

I'm not sure about this one, but I would lean towards false because modern slavery can exist even in developed countries.

I believe the answer is false because the complexity of global supply chains can make it difficult to trace and monitor every aspect of production.

I agree, unfortunately, there are many instances where forced labor is still prevalent despite the regulations in place.

Do you think there is forced labor in supply chains in developed economies like the European Union?

Ah, the age-old question of 'is it really as good as it seems?' I've got to say, I'm leaning towards B here. I mean, these economies are 'developed,' but that doesn't mean they're perfect. There's still a lot of work to be done, and I don't think we can just assume that modern slavery is a thing of the past. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for B.

You know, I've been reading a lot about this topic lately, and it's really disheartening to see how much modern slavery is still happening, even in the so-called 'developed' world. I mean, we like to think we've got it all figured out, but the reality is pretty grim. I'm definitely going with B on this one.

I had no idea it was this bad. Makes you wonder about the effectiveness of current protections.

I agree with you. It's surprising how prevalent modern slavery still is, even in developed economies.

Ugh, this question is giving me a headache. I feel like I should know the answer, but I just can't wrap my head around it. Maybe I should've paid more attention in that 'Modern Slavery in the 21st Century' lecture. I guess I'll have to go with my gut and say B.

I don't know, you guys. I feel like this is one of those tricky questions where the answer is never as simple as it seems. I mean, do we really know for sure what's going on behind the scenes in these 'developed' economies? I'm gonna have to go with C and just admit that I don't know the answer.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. These countries have some pretty robust labor laws, don't they? I mean, I'd like to think that modern slavery isn't a thing here. But you know what they say, 'where there's a will, there's a way' when it comes to exploiting people. I'm leaning towards B, but I'm not 100% convinced.

Oh boy, this question is a doozy! I bet the exam writers were just waiting for someone to fall for the 'developed economies = no modern slavery' trap. I'm definitely going with B on this one.
