Child Labor: Causes and Consequences

Almost about 60 million children all around the globe work so hard, that of them gets handicapped because of the hard work they are doing. Children aren’t as mental, and physical developed as the adults are, which makes it a lot harder for their bodies and minds to manage the hard work.Investigations shows that in some countries it’s nearly 3 out of 4 children-workers that has got physical damages. The girls are the most damaged. Security and healthy working conditions are unknown to many children workers working with poisons and dangerous machines at factories. A lot of children aren’t getting the right food, clean water or fresh air. These things hurts their immune system very much. And in the end their small bodies can’t stand it.In Denmark we don’t have that many problems with children working. But I’ve seen in television and seen it for myself when I was in India, children doing hard work. When we were in India children where sitting in the side of the road hammering on rocks, and stuff like that, it wasn’t a pretty sight, and when you see something like that you get to think about how lucky you are, and we shall appreciate what we have. My opinion is that if they really injure themselves with working, someone should to do something about it.I have looked up the Unicef website concerning children’s work. I know it’s a global problem, but my guess is that most of the children are forced to work because of three these things: poorness, culture, destroying of schools.
