Child Labor

Child labor is the employment of children in work that is hazardous or interferes with their education, or that is harmful to their physical or mental development. Child labor is a global problem that affects millions of children around the world. Children who are engaged in child labor are often forced to work long hours for little or no pay, and may be exposed to dangerous conditions that can have serious consequences for their health and safety. Child labor is a violation of children’s rights, and it can have long-term negative effects on their development and well-being. Governments and organizations around the world are working to combat child labor and protect the rights of children.
