A Desperate Measure – Why Poor Families Resort to Child Labor

Children who work and they’re too young to do so needlessly diminish their current welfare or their ability to earn income in the future. This can occur through a reduction in their future possible options or in their own to be better members. Children are forced to give up educational opportunities and take jobs in times of severe economic hardship.
Which, because they are generally low-paid and work in dangerous conditions, are mainly inequitable. Because of the severe economic conditions, parents want to send their children to work as a defensive measure. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that the majority of poor households send their kids to work when they’re young.

Education Denied – Child Labor as a Barrier to Learning

The fact that children are sent to work rather than getting educated is one of the alarming aspects of child labor.

In just four years, from 2000 to 2004, there were 11% fewer child labor cases worldwide. The percentage of kids working in dangerous jobs fell by 26% during this time. The drop was 33% more severe for children between the ages of 5 and 14 who are engaged in dangerous jobs. The overall picture has shown a downward trend; that is, the quicker the decline, the more harmful the work is and the more risky the children involved are. Over the past four years, the percentage of children working has lessened by two-thirds in Latin America and the Caribbean, with a child work participation rate of 5%. The ILO Global Report focuses on political will, wise resource management, and well-considered policy decisions can all play an important role in ending child labor globally.
