Did a child make your trainers ?
Have you ever asked yourself who actually made the trainers on your feet or the TV in your living room ? Sadly , there is a chance that one of the estimated 150 million children engaged in child labour around the word today was involved . Why are so many youngsters working instead of enjoying their childhood and what are the consequences for them ?
Broadly speaking , there are two main reasons child labour is still common , and unsurprisingly they are both financial The first of these is certain people's desire to make money regardless of the consequences . In almost all cases , child labour is inexpensive and therefore helps generate higher profits . Children are also forced to work because of poverty and the necessity to contribute towards their families ' basic needs .
To begin with . I strongly believe there is no justifiable reason why a child should have to work . Child labour is often Hegal , but where laws are not enforced , working children have no rights or protection . This can lead to exploitation through low wages , long working hours and dangerous conditions . Working environments such as mines or factories , for example , endanger children's health and possibly even their lives . Another serious outcome is that working children tend not to recelve a formal education and are denied the chance to learn from or enjoy their childhood .
All in all considering how well - off certain parts of the world are today , I believe it is scandalous that so many children are working instead of going to school . Without education they have little chance of ever escaping poverty and as a result , future generations are likely to find themselves in the same situation , Jennifer Stokes ( 6 )
