The Use of Child Labor

Children are essential elements of society. Why then are they being used illegally in child labor camps throughout the world? The idea of child labor is repulsive to those used to sending the children to school at 5 years of age but in some underdeveloped nations there is little access to an educational system because of lack of employment to send the child to school. As a result the child has to work to help maintain the family's daily earning quota.

If earnings of a Florida farming family is not increasing to keep step with increased inflation and the economic bust that has caused a bank collapse in the US, it is obvious that farming families will still employ their youth even though they may be under age according to urban standards. A fourteen year-old would more likely be working long hours on an orange picking farm in that state rather than completing his high school,education in a big city.

The use of child labor is complicated by a reduced insurance coverage in some states where the child is not employed year round. There many causes for the loss of young person's life including accidents caused by falls from ladders, using heavy machinery, drowning, parasitic infections, respiratory diseases and farm animals.

Under more severe working conditions, camps are set up where the child is forced to work and working conditions are poorer than in the US. The ugly word of slavery has returned when it was thought to have been abolished, worldwide.In China children are moved to labor camps away from their families to help support the local economy and child labor also occurs in Africa where the child, deprived of education and a family resorts to begging in the streets. In Ghana children as young as 6 years old are leased out to help parents earnings; they may land up on the coast helping fishermen bale out their boats while being unaware of their servitude.
