    Child labour is often seen only to occur in third world countries but this is not the case. Child labour occurs all over the world and the brutality and cruelty of this work varies. Although child labour is seen as a bad thing, for the children and families living in their poor conditions, child labour is seen as necessary for the family to live as it is an essential income. UNICEF estimates that around 150 million children aged 5-14 in developing countries, about 16 per cent of all children in this age group, are involved in child labour. Therefore child labour is still a big problem in our world today especially as some children are forced to work in dangerous, unhygienic, life threatening conditions. Not only does is it harmful to their physical body it also effects their education as some children drop out of education to work. Even though many organisations and charities attempt to stop child labour or at least make the conditions suitable for children, child labour is still seen as a big problem in the 20th century.…

    A complex social and political issue that has enrooted employment history for a long period of time; child labor is evolving into a new phenomenon that is having negative impacts on children all throughout the globe.

    During the late 1700s and early 1800s child labor was formed due to the increase of factories being built. While this not only meant an increase of jobs being formed, but this was also the start of a revolutionary thing. Today there are strict laws on the age at which children can now work, how long, and how much they get paid. While child labor still exists in the United States today it is much less common than it was all those years ago.…

In order to earn the minimal amount of money required for their families’ survival, children are working for hours in factories and mines instead of preparing for a better future in schools. This issue had been present in the government’s agenda for years, and it is starting to gain more public attention.…

    Over the past ten years, U.S. government statistics show a marked rise in child labor violations. In sweatshops, farm fields, and fast-food outlets, kids are being exploited and exposed to dangers.
