Child Labour Should Be Banned- Final 2

     Child Labor, refers to the economically active population under the age of fifteen years old, who are employed in various industries (Grootaert, 2). Recently, child labor has become a large topic of debate; however, in most cases, it is very unfavorable. The perception that globalization is leading towards the exploitation of children, is becoming an important problem for international business. In my opinion, child labor should be eradicated. It is not only harmful to the health of children, but it takes away their chance for an education, and simply takes away their childhood.

Child labor is the use of children in industry or business, that can deprive them from their childhood, keep them away from attending school, and that is mentally, physically, socially or morally dangerous and harmful. This practice have numerous occurrences all through history and is one of the worst forms of child exploitation, particularly, with during the industrial revolution. Over the years it has grown to become one of the many serious social issues around the world. According to statistics provided by UNICEF, there are an estimated 250 million children aged 5 to 14 years employed in child labor worldwide and this figure is continuously increasing. Even with the standardized federal labor laws in effect in 1938 not a lot has changed. Child labor not only causes damage to a child’s physical and mental health but also keep him deprive them from their basic rights to education, childhood, and freedom. Child labor has very bad effects on the society that can result to consequences that can exploit the future generation.

Child labor generally involves agricultural or industrial work, often putting young children in very dangerous working conditions. So that’s problably why there is still child labor is other countries and not in the U.S. United states knows is not good to have kids working like that.

Some country government didn’t do anything to stop it and causes a large number of children population rate to drop in every centuries or year. During the 19th century, children and women had to work in the coal mine or farming field on a hot day. More than half of children didn’t go to school, instead, they work with low wage and it is still the same even in the 21st century because like Indonesian hired children to work in tobacco with their bare hand. Child labor is a major issue that we should not forget, children have involved throughout history; especially in industrialization era. Individuals and business viewed children as an affordable, achievable and renewable resource with a low

Taking jobs away from child laborers is an unsuccessful way to make their lives better because this solution leaves them without money to buy food and other essentials. If child labor regulations were put into place, children would be treated appropriately in addition to being able afford necessities to survive. There are only specific jobs that children should be able to fill. Jobs involving machinery made for adults should not be used by children since it causes a safety hazard. Employers must be given restrictions when dealing with workers’ punishments. A maximum set of hours per that children should be allowed to work should be set in place, as well a minimum age of employment. Additionally, A decent minimum wage needs to be approved. Completely abolishing child labor can cause more damage than benefits, which is why regulations on child labor is a more suitable and superior

Child Labor is considered work that is hazardous to the child’s health, the individual themselves and if it keeps the child away from school to learn. In many cultures around the world that have poor economic statue will eventually have the children’s not be able to attend school, instead they will have to go out and find work in the

There are million of working children all around the world, for example, “Asia has the highest incidence of child labor (152.5 million), followed by Africa (80 million) and Latin America (17.5 million). Measured in proportional terms approximately 40 percent of African children work, while 20 percent of children work in Asia and Latin America respectively.” (Palley) ”The worldwide population of children under fourteen who work full-time is thought to exceed 200 million”. Obviously if most children participate in child labor, then there needs to be more laws regulating it and a better way of enforcing the laws. “The general minimum age was at the first 14 years, later raised to 15, and 16 for specific dangerous environments and night work”(. There are laws on the general age someone can be to work, but there are still many children who work.

Child labor is severely harmful to the children working. The definition of child labor is work done by a child (under 18 years old) that is harmful to the child’s health and development and probably interferes with their

During the Industrial Revolution around the 1700s, child labor spread. Many families during this time struggled financially forcing children to work alongside their parents in order to have enough money to survive. Child labor is a concern and a problem, because children are working in harsh conditions, which can have health risks. They are also required to work long hours, which have appalling effects. These children are paid the lowest wages while being denied an education. It is for these reasons child labor must be abolished.

Many children have little or no learning experience, because they work all hours of the day. The chances of a child with little education, getting a good job is slim to none. Forcing children into work takes away their freedom to get a quality education to prepare them for the steps of life that will happen in their future. If we do not do more to stop child labor, the cycle will be repeated over relentlessly. These children will not get a successful job, which will force them into poverty which could force their children into child labor. Children without an education will not be able to succeed throughout life with only the basic knowledge not taught from schools. We need to do more to keep children out of this harmful

To begin with, consumers should purchase products made by the hands of children because their families depend on it. The reason the children in these third world countries work is because they are poor and live in poverty “earning money is an unavoidable necessity for them” If child labor is banned then children can go from working in a somewhat clean factory to collecting food in a disease-filled dump(page 8 paragraph 46)(page 9 paragraph 47). Families are notthe only ones depending on factories allowing their children to go to work.

There's a long history about child labor throughout out the years from the beginning of time until now. “Child labor started in mid-1800s in developed countries like Great Britain and U.S. Child labor was a part of life. Great Britain in the lates 1800s, parliaments investigated abuses against children working in factories. While U.S. started in early 2900s to determine the extent of child labor in industry” (Zoltan, Melanie). In the twenty-first century, people started to talk on child labor centered on these less-developed regions, specifically on countries such as Mexico, Guatemala, China, and Malaysia, because child labor is still going on know there (Zoltan, Melanie). The industrial revolution made a really big part of child labor, because

“Child Labour; the Effect on Child, Causes, and Remedies to the Revolving Menace,” defines child labor as referring to “children who miss their childhood and are not able to have the basic amenities which a child should have.” There are many different reasons and causes for child labor. For some countries, child labor is considered to be a cultural norm. From the time children are old enough to be taught a skill, they are often trained in that field and put to work in order to help provide for their families. Other times, it is the sheer exploitation of a family’s struggle and desperation that leads these children into the industry.

Lastly another reason why child labor still exist is because the lack of enforcement of laws from the government. The government has not done enough to help protect these young children’s. 168 million of children are still involved in child labor, which is a ridiculous amount. 85 million children are still forced to work in a hazardous environment that could either injure or kill them. There are even 21 million children in forced labor, meaning these

Child labor is considered as a form of child abuse, it being the exploitation of a child’s rights and freedoms. Therefore, child labour is when underage children are employed, this happens because a child labourer is paid less than an adult labourer. Consequently employers have more children working for them because they spend less paying the children.
