Why does there have to be child labor in some countries?
Every year despite many laws in some countries kids are sent to work in brick factories, carpet factories, and mines where they work most of the day for little or no pay. When kids work at these factories they are in terrible working conditions kids at carpet factories always have cut fingers, some kids at brick factories burn themselves, and in the mines kids mine all day. Many countries are trying to enforce laws that prevent child labor but some don’t have enough money or resources and there are too many factories that are able to rebel because some have better resources than the volunteers who try to stop child labor. If you had a choice to end child labor in one country what country would it be and why?

ReplyDeleteIf I could choose one country to end child labor in, it would be Ethiopia because they have the highest amount of child labor at over 60% from children 4-15 years old. Most of the children only receive one dollar every month or sometimes even a smaller amount than that! I think that it is crazy that other human beings would put children in such dangerous positions without any proper training. These jobs could get them maimed or killed on a daily basis. If I had the ability, I would end all child labor and punish the people who forced children to do such dangerous tasks.
