Why do child soldiers happen mainly in LED'S?
Why do child soldiers happen mainly in LEDC's Child soldiers have been recruited in more than 85 countries. They can be found mainly in LEDC's because that's where most war and conflict involving armed forces are. The majority of child soldiers are in Africa but there are many in other parts of the world as well. Some of which include Afghanistan, Burundi, central African republic, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Philippines, sri lanka, Thailand and Uganda. I think that child soldiers are mainly found in less economically developed countries because it sounds like being less economically developed means that they haven't got a lot of money and they send their children to be a child soldier to keep them occupied and so they can concentrate on working and earning money. But then some children just go in there maybe because they haven't got anywhere else to go or just because there not happy with who they are and where they are and they just want to get away or they just are simply running away from home.
