Working the Children of the World to Death
Remember the feeling of being a child and the ability to be free to do anything and when something wrong there was always the excuse of being just a kid still learning what was supposed to go down. A child is innocent and just wants to be loved and shown that they are cared about but when a child has to do labor all that is taken away from them and leaves them feeling empty and that no one cares about them. So to end child labor would be to end the suffering of poor innocent children everywhere in the world who have never done anything wrong in their life. Child labor has and will always be the worst situation to put a child through and in order to improve the world it needs to be put to a stop immediately.
Child Labor is work performed by children that either endangers their or safety, interferes with or prevents their education, or keeps them from play and other activity important to their development (“Child Labor”). This is a social problem and is associated with the rise of industrial production and the appearance of capitalism. Child labor first appeared with the development of the domestic system (Landgren). If the parents needed more money they would usually send there kids to work in the mines from early in the morning until late at night. There’s still child labor many places in the world but there’s laws that restrict it. In America child labors is completely illegal but in Canada the only way that the kids receive their pay is if they stay in school which is extremely hard to maintain good grades if there working from right after school until late at night.
There are approximately 250 million child laborers worldwide. At least 120 million are working under circumstances that have denied them a childhood and jeopardizes their health (Landgren). Most children working are between the ages 11-14, but an astonishing 60 million are between
