The International Labour Organization (ILO) has estimated that 218 million children between the ages of five and seventeen work in developing countries. Of these, 122.3 million children work in the Asia-Pacific region, 49.3 million work in Sub-Saharan Africa, and 5.7 million work in Latin America and the Caribbean. Most working children in rural areas are found in agriculture; many children work as domestics; urban children work in trade and services, with fewer in manufacturing and construction. Child labor ranges from four-year-olds tied to rug looms to keep them from running away, to seventeen-year-olds helping out on the family farm. In some cases, a child's work can be helpful to him or her and to the family; working and earning can be a positive experience in a child's growing up. This depends largely on the age of the child, the conditions in which the child works, and whether work prevents the child from going to school.

sorry to pick on america, but they do use a lot of energy (food, petroleum products, water, etc). an american uses much more than any other person worldwide. followed by europeans. they over consumptions of energy rapes the planet (like raiding teh cookie jars without replacing it). this results in 'poverty' world wide.

just because kids from america eats burgers..does it mean kids from pakistan have to too?? just because kids in america drives big SUVs does it means kids from england have to too?? the moral of this discussions is, not to make assumptions of what standard of living people want, as their views advocated by cultural differences are likely to be very different from yours. if you really want to stop these things, read up on GANDHI and begin influencing the world. make love not war!!!

its hard to judge whats right and whats wrong for these kids. when i was younger i didnt enjoy school and always outside with my friends. who are people from the west to say that 'they're being denied education and childhood' when childhood can be from many ways and the way of life.

If these children enjoy the work they have to do, let them be, but if they dont enjoy it at all, we can help make a differance, every contribution helps! Child labour is a horrible thing to do, I would hate being tied to a rug loom, wouldnt you? Just think of what these children go through everyday, if you wouldn't like it to happen to you,think of these poor tortured children, stand up! You can help! The world is a cruel place, and with lots of help, we may be able to make a huge differance!!!!

I couldn't agree more! Child labour is horrible!
