Child Labour Pros And Cons - Yes, there are some cons!

As we all know, child labour is a much thought about topic, and we consider both the pros and cons of this topic, and yes, believe it or not there are cons, albeit not too many. Many of us in the western developed world consider child labor a taboo, and think of it as a problem and have strict child labor laws in effect. Some nations also try to reduce this type of labour in other nations with laws and sanctions, and also try to use funding and education to help to curb the use of this questionable form of labour. It is also considered by many international organizations to be exploitative. It has also been used throughout most of the past, but with the adaptation of universal schooling, it has become a disreputable practice and by most standards, not even considered any more, at least in developed nations.

Child Labor and Sweatshops – Who Made YOUR Shirt?


Special Report: Child Labour and Sweatshops – Who Made YOUR Shirt?

Part 1: Introduction

Sweatshops, while an ugly scene, in the United States, is a tradition in many parts of the world. In fact, it was once commonplace in the United States. In the early 1800s, it is reported that one-third of America’s labour force consisted of children aged 7 to 12. It took America nearly 100 years to obliterate these shops as an accepted and legal means of doing business, and some sweatshops are still reported to exist in the U.S. Every now and again, a one of these shops with underage employees is exposed on U.S. soil. In other countries and areas of the world, the job of eradicating these unethical sweatshops is extremely difficult and is likely to take many years.

What Are And Where Are Sweatshops?

As the name implies, these shops are uncomfortable, unsanitary, and either very hot or very cold. Workers are often subjected to physical or sexual abuse, and are paid wages so low they are unable to escape the financial hole they are in. Sometimes child laborers are not allowed to leave the workplace to go home, or they are sold into slave labour and taken far from their families. They can be found all over the world, especially where countries are developing. Continue Reading Child Labour and Sweatshops Report Part 1 Here

First of all, it does not refer to a child doing chores around the house or helping with the family run business over shop, at least not in this context. Second of all it doesn’t mean working on a school project or something related to school and their studies. In the context most people think of when it comes to child labour is the employment of children whom work at regular jobs. The age of the child is also taken in his to consideration when we are referring to children’s rights and child laborers.
