Child Labor. 

People should support this petition because there are children out there that are being sold to slavery or even working in a dangerous factory that are not suitable for children. I started this petition because of a school assignment. It can make a difference, by showing that there is people out in the world that are supporting this.

Throughout history young children were employed in dangerous factories, and often fatal working conditions. Now the use of child labourers is known as human right violation and is outlawed, while some countries allow or tolerate child labour. Child labour is also considered a full-time employment to children who are paid under minimum age, and that are under age in the 21st century.

Child labour is still common in parts of the world; 250 to 304 million children are being labored in the world.children ages 5-17 are being working out in the field. 22%of the workforce in Asia, 32% in Africa, 17% in Latin America, 1% in US Canada, Europe and others. Even though child labor is banned, in china it is unclear “high secret” China has enacted to prevent child labour but there has been reports the practice of child labour in China.

The cause of child labour is because it usually crucial for his or her own survival or for the household. 20-40% of the child earnings are the household incomes. Sometimes children work because they have nothing better to do. In Rural areas when schools are available it might be too far away, unaffordable or the parents are too poor and going to school is not worth it. In the cultural perspective child labour was common,  shows good character-building and skill development skills. Some families believed that it is tradition for children to follow their parents footsteps, where children learn and practice in an early age.

April 9, 2013 India directed; children under age of 14 will be ban from employment. Expect a child can work with his or her family of learning a new trade. Also children ages 14-18 years of age will not be forced to work.

While children need to go to school, they go to factories to work. The future of our world is children, which they need good foundation. Children that work in that country makes them a third world country because they are not getting the firm education they need to make a strong united country.
