I have chosse to talk about child labour af overemnet humain rigths.

What is child labour ?

This is when children are younger than 18 years and have to work. There are child labour around the world in both rich and poor countries.

In the poor countries it is often impossibel for most of the children to come to school because they have to work. They work to make money for food and to help the family.

In the rich countries is child labour not so demanding. They work to earn pocket money or to buy fine things. And they have the possibility to go to school and have the rigth to be

children as long as possible.

Why does child labour exist?

It can be because the adults in the poor countries are low paid in the work and therefore can they not provide their family. And so are they need to send their children out to work.

There also many adult who die of AIDS or in wars, and their children are alone and have to provide themself and their brothers and sisters.

For many adults is not so important that their children go to school, but more important is their children go to work.
