Child Labor

Indeed. 2% of children dont go to school, and with the other 98% thousands drop out every year and are involved in child labor. 3.1 children in Tunisia are EMPLOYED. But they say that education of children of the ages 6-16 are to have COMPULSORY education.

(See? I wrote important words with caps :D)

Hopefully. I'm 17, and I'm planning on moving to Floida from Alaska by myself and finishing high school there. Basicly, I'm moving at the end of this summer, so when I start school, I'll only be 17 for about 2 months. I've talked about it to my parents, and no matter how much they dissapprove, they realize they can't stop me. And holding me back those 2 months would only delay me academicly. With the job i have now, and the 3 I'm planning on working during the summer, I'll hopefully have enough to support myself for the first semester, and find a suitable place to live. Overall, I'm pretty excited and coming from another 17 year old moving out, I don't see anything holding you back (unless you JUST turned 17). If you can do it, the go. There are some low points too however: You'll have to pay for everything yourself, getting a job and finishing school are huge, and finding someone whos gonna take you seriously as a 17 year is definalty gonna be hard.

No, because

Not all work done by children should be classified as child labour that is to be targeted for elimination. Children's or adolescents' participation in work that does not affect their health and personal development or interfere with their schooling, is generally regarded as being something positive. This includes activities such as helping their parents around the home, assisting in a family business or earning pocket money outside school hours and during school holidays. These kinds of activities contribute to children's development and to the welfare of their families; they provide them with skills and experience, and help to prepare them to be productive members of society during their adult life.

The term "child labour" is often defined as work that deprives children of their childhood, their potential and their dignity, and that is harmful to physical and mental development.

It refers to work that:

Yes it is possible, but its important you think about this one a little more because this is what will happen to you: Emancipation basically means you are divorcing your parent(s). This means the mother (or father or both) that love you very much will not be allowed to have anything to do with you. So, if you should become emancipated from your mother and change your mind .... oh, oh, guess what? You just can't change your mind like that. You more than likely will be a ward of the court system and this means you can go into foster care. While there are many wonderful foster care providers out there, there are some pretty bad ones too and you could end up worse off than you are now. If you mother feeds you, puts a roof over your head, loves you, cares about where you are and what you are doing; perhaps drives you to school, cares whether you get good grades or not then you should consider yourself very lucky. There are many kids out there that have no parents either due to death or the parents didn't care enough to keep their child(ren.) These are not reasons to leave home: Told to do certain chores around the house Told to come home at a certain time Told when and where you can go Told to do your homework Scolded for not doing homework Scolded because you are cheeky or swearing Told you can't get any body piercing Told you can't die your hair a vivid color Told you can't go to rave parties Told you can't drink or smoke I could go on and on, but you get the picture. Emancipation from a parent can take a long time, and it's not easy. You will be forced to go into court and I doubt you would like that one. Try helping your mom a bit more and sitting down and talking to her and if you feel she isn't being fair then sit down and tell her why you don't think she is being fair. Perhaps on one of two subjects she will compromise with you. I don't know of any state that will allow a 13-year-old to be emancipated. In order to be emancipated you have to prove to the court (among other things) that you are capable of fully supporting yourself without any assistance. You have to pay your own rent, buy your groceries, pay utilities, etc AND remain in school. A 13-year-old can't even get a job, so how can they do that?

they were treated badley if they did'nt work hard they would get no dinner.

I would say yes. I don't think you even need to ask permission, just take a swab of the child's mouth and of yours is all it takes now days.

child labor laws are important because there is need for the society to protect children against exploitation when they are trying to earn extra income for survival. the International Labor Organization is one of the most primal organization that formulated laws that protected children from exploitation and poor wages by the employees in the turn of the 20th century. The laws are universally acceptable and there is need to ensure that the children also grow up to be responsible citizens who are also healthy. poor working conditions can be detrimental either physically or psychologically to a growing mind. child labour laws set up the limits of acceptable jobs that can be done by children of different ages. Further it can provide an elaborate definition for what constitutes as child abuse and labor in hazardous environments for children in general. It is also important to note that children by right are supposed to be protected from all kinds of abuse and exploitations which can occur in the work place. it is hence a means of empowering children from bad people with cruel intentions. child labor laws also varies with different societal backgrounds and the intensity of the implimentation varies with the governments abilityto finace education and facilities that will assist the citizens to implement the rule in general. compare a case study of child labour laws in India and USA. what makes the idian system fail in protecting its minor citizens from exploitation i the work force?

Iqbal Masih was murdered in the middle of a busy road in Muridke, Pakistan.

Many states had passed laws regulating child labor, minimum wages, and working conditions.

Child labour mostly happens in developing and underdeveloped countries but it does happen in the USA and South America and although it is rare for child labour in Canada it has been heard of before. Child labour is common in China, Japan and other countries in Asia. It sometimes happens in Europe but is way more common in Africa, where food, water, and money are not as easy to obtain.

According to UNICEF statistics, 4% of Mexican children aged 0 to 14 years participated in economic activities during 2015. This amounts to approximately 1.3 million out of a population of 32.5 million children in Mexico.

Globally speaking, there is no one single cause of child labor nor any single model adequately explain the complex phenomenon of child labor.

Nevertheless, some of the factors affecting child labor are identified as low income, The practice of indebting a family (part of repaying the debt involves a child becoming an indentured labor to the creditor party), big family size and fertility (household with more children end up providing less education for each child and may need to send children to work to help earn income to meet needs), household structure and migration, difficulty in easy access to qualitative schooling, and demand within a given society for cheap unskilled laborers. However, according to a study the most common cause behind child labor practices in Pakistan remains because of death or illness within adult member of the family.

Bachpan hai anmol, chheeno mat hamse

Bare hokar ham kam karenge tumse badhke.

Mata Shatru, Pita Bairi Ban jate hai

Jo Nanhe Bachcho se kam karate hai

The National Child Labor Committee (NCLC) fought with the help of Lewis Wikes Hine, a famous photographer, to fight child labor. They sent Hine to many of places who had supported child labor, and Hine would take pictures of how young the kids were and the horrible working conditions. They would take those pictures and make them into flyers hanging them up everywhere for everyone to see. The NCLC and Hine helped people learn the problems of child labor helping them see how wrong it was. With the help Of the NCLC and Hine child labor was soon banished by the Supreme Court as unconstitutional.

They worked for about 15 hours each day, only had about an hour of lunch break (they ate their supper while working at the same time), they were beaten if they were caught taking any extra breaks, had very little family connections since everyone was working, and sometimes died from factory accidents.

New laws aimed at protecting working children helped improve their working conditions by enforcing regulations on working hours, ensuring access to education, and prohibiting hazardous labor. These laws also mandated safer environments and fair wages, which contributed to the overall well-being of child workers. Additionally, they raised awareness about child labor issues, promoting societal change and encouraging better enforcement of existing labor standards. Ultimately, these measures aimed to safeguard children's rights and promote their development.

Yo yo honey singh

blah...bla...blah...industrial revolution...boring....boo!

Greed and desperation.
During a time when employers could pay workers pennies a day, and children were paid half, and money was so short that people had to have as many wage earners as possible in the family, so they would send their kids to work in the sweat shops. 2 kids working full time was like another paycheck.

child labor afeccts Africa because it kills children!!!!!!!!!and takes away there rights they have to work the rest of there lifes i bet u couldn't do that now could u smarty

The answer regarding the number of children working in factories in the US during the industrial revolution cannot be substantiated at all. No one was taking count, and workers were able to leave factories and work on farms.
