Devil’s advocate take: children work because without the income they would be worse off (e.g. starving), and are generally in undeveloped economies which otherwise would be incapable of supporting them. Similar to having children help on the farm in an agrarian economy. Avoiding cheap chocolate and driving those producers out of business will just push said children further into poverty. Obviously it would be better if they didn’t have to work and could go to school instead, but if the country’s economy cannot support such a situation, there’s little to no way around it.

If the children are being forced to work, that’s an entirely different matter.
