Worker’s low living wages and poor working conditions hamper the growth of fast fashion. In the fashion industry, the workers, women especially (women represent nearly 80% of the world’s garment workers), are paid very less. Women also face workplace abuses.

By this, most people will not prefer the fashion industry to work. Therefore, low wages and terrible working conditions are affecting the growth of the fast fashion market.
