More research and reporting will be done; the last paragraph challenges the scientific community to do the work and I think the call-to-action will be heard. This little vignette in Nature is nothing more than a fluff piece, designed (optimistically) to get more people aware of the research needed, and that research (flawed that it is) is even being done.

In the last 5 years, I've seen garment manufacturing run from India to go to China to now run to Vietnam in search of cheaper and cheaper labor, with significant impacts on social, economic and political issues in the leave-behind countries and the latest sweethearts.
