Child labor

In the normal lives of rich children around the world,parents go off to work every day and kids are left to play with friends, do activities and go to school. However, that is not the case for the 218 million child labourers of the world who daily find themselves under harsh, dangerous and exploitative conditions, in which hey have to work in. Globally the majority of child laborers come from the poorer sections of society. Social exclusion and discrimination, a result of poverty and ethnic and gender bias, are important factors that keep children out of school and force them to work. Ending poverty and increasing access to education are therefor crucial tools in the fight against ending child labor.
