WORST COUNTRIES FOR CHILD LABOUR 🌍



SEEL Paragraph (Draft)

Children are to this day still used in slave labour simply because their families literally can’t afford not to sell them. In underdeveloped countries such as Pakistan, Sudan, Somalia and Afghanistan, over half of the population lives in poverty. Child labour in these countries is widely-socially accepted. And as a result, parents making their children work is often the only way to repay any debt that they may have. For instance, if someone in a family falls ill, (which is common in underdeveloped countries) parents are often forced to take out loans to pay for necessities such as medicine.

This is not only devastating for the families but it impacts the children in many ways, taking away their human rights is just one of them. To name a few, labour takes away their education and safety. Children often work for years in dangerous and hazardous conditions, so dangerous, in fact, that the ILO estimates that 22,000 children are killed at work every year. What's more, children often are forced to work from a very early age for years, simply because their family could not afford not to.
