Child labour

  1. With official estimates of 12.6 million children in hazardous occupations, India has the highest number of labourers in the world under 14 years of age.
  2. In the UK a child age 13 can have a part time work. WorkSmart from the TUC shows that the type of work is restricted to light agricultural or horticultural work or as allowed by-laws.
  3. In Honduras approximatively 360,000 children between ages 5-17 are involved in economic activities.61.2% of these children occupy jobs without own profit, meaning they work yet the money is for others.
I personally think child labour is unethical because the childhood of a little boy or girl disappears due to the burden of having to work to survive. Poverty drives families to use even children as a income. Labour enables children from going to school furthermore limiting their future and opportunities. Child Labour is prohibited by the UNICEF laws however 1 of every 6 children has to work.
