CHILD LABOUR

In Room 1 this term we are studying about CHILD LABOUR.
CHILD LABOUR is more common than you think it is! It can be Factory working, mining, prostitution, argiculture and much more. You may think who cares? But this is a serious topic. Children who do CHILD LABOUR can start from the age 5 up to 14 years old. Imagine your little 8 year old brother mining in iron mines in India!! Countries that do have high CHILD LABOUR rates are India, Vietnam, Morocco, Latin America and many more countries. Between 40 and 50 percent of all slave workers are children and 1.2 million of those children have been tarfficked (sold or bought). The highest percentage of CHILD LABOUR is in sub-saharan Africa where 1 3rd of the children aged 14 and under are under the CHILD LABOUR force.
