Report on child labour
What is happening to children all over the world? What are they being forced to do? What are other people doing about this issue? Well, I will tell you what is happening to them.
What are the children being forced to do?
All over the world child labour is happening and the main question is, what are the adults doing about this issue. Adults are not doing enough about this issue. Children are vulnerable and need help. Children are forced to work as servants. They work on all sorts of jobs like selling stuff on street stalls, cleaning, sewing or working in factories, and they do this either for free or for minimal pay. This is what child labour is and can affect the world.
All over the world, about 60% of children are used in child labour most specially in agriculture and farming. There are about 168 million children working. Most children are working in the worst conditions and treated badly, such as getting beaten up for being too slow in working, used in drug trafficking, in dangerous factories and sometimes they are used to fight in wars.
What are the people doing to the children?
The people are hurting the children in many ways such as violence, child abuse, threats and many more. Children are also being forced to take part in armed conflict such as war and civil war. This mostly happens in Africa, the Middle East and other third world countries. Governments are not doing anything about this issue and they are just letting it happen. Some parents are letting their children take part in these situations and some parents have no choice due to the very poor life. Some kids even do this job at the age of 5 and up to 16 years old.

What are the politicians (Government) doing about this issue/situation?
The Governments are not doing anything. They are letting it happen. This is a serious matter/issue that is affecting many countries. It is affecting the families and it is spreading globally. And do you think that they should be doing this? When children do this they will not learn from this and children deserve to have a better education than being forced to work as slaves. Children should be allowed to learn about normal things in life such as being a child who plays, and go to school to learn. But not the bad experiences in life. They should be able to have a good life and not have a life where they get bullied and other things. Also children deserve and have the right to a good healthy childhood. They should have a good relationship with their parents. Some kids don’t get to have a relationship with their mums and dads because the kids get taken away. And this is also known as child trafficking.
What is child labour?
Child labour is work undertaken by a child that can be harmful to them in many different kind of ways. The labour can be harmful to their health,ability,physical and safety. The worst forms of child labour include using children as slaves or forcing them into drugs or to commit crimes. When child labour happens it affects their life because they don’t get a better education. If they don’t get a better education then it will affect them because they will not learn. And learning is the number 1 thing that all children should get. Also because learning keeps your brain going.
