You would work making and doing things for the Nazi soldiers and eventually died by murder illness or pure exhaustion at one point in the war anyone under ten and over fifty was immediately killed.

well no, Labor camps rarely served the military, they would serve the state, or be there for a private company like Buna or Mercedes or Schindler (as in the film). People would be worked to death and often beaten to death to motivate the others. It was very rare that anyone too old or too young would arrive at a labor camp as they were 'selected' before they were sent.
Australian POWs were treated as appallingly as other whites in Japanese camps. They were used as slave labour.
They were usually killed.
The Holocaust camps differed in the ways they treated prisoners after they passed the selection that degrades and dehumanizes them. Sometimes the prisoners were forced to do hard labor and other times they were killed.
It generally depended on who was involved. Western European prisoners were treated much better than Eastern European prisoners. Eastern Europeans were most often killed or died of starvation. They were often made into slave laborers. Of the Western European prisoners, the British & Americans were treated better than the French, Belgian, Dutch or Italian (after Italy surrendered to the Allies) prisoners. Normally British & Americans were not killed or treated as slave laborers. The French, Belgian, Dutch & Italians were often sent to slave labor camps, and starved. Of the Germans that held prisoners, the SS were the worse offenders against prisoners, and the Luftwaffe (Air Force) treated their prisoners the best. Also civilian prisoners were treated worse than military prisoners.
Concentration camps were used for forced prison labor, while extermination camps were built to kill all prisoners.

A prisoner in charge at the camps (concentration camps, death camps, forced labor camps) during the Holocaust. These people were typically non-Jewish (Jews were treated the worst in the camps).
Japanese internment camps and concentration camps imprisoned citizens during WWII based on racial prejudice and distrust. Although violating their rights as citizens, the US treated the Japanese relatively humanely, whereas the Nazis treated the Jews and other prisoners as animals. The US did not rent out prisoners as labor, perform biological experiments, or deliberately exterminate prisoners. (Guards did kill and injure several Japanese who violated camp boundaries.) Both systems of camps were involuntary yet (at the time) legal restraints on citizens (though not always for foreign nationals). Both designated certain races the government believed to be "undesirable", "inferior" or "disloyal".
Camps for political prisoners have been called a detention center, a concentration camp, prisoner of war camp, labor camp, or gulag.
