Child labor is the employment of children in areas that can harm or exploite them in any possible way (physically or mentally). Accodring to UNICEF "There is approximately about 250 children that are child laborers". There is a high percentage of kids from the age of 15 and under that are exploited and work a full time job. Most childrens are not lucky enough to attend school or have a childhood like us because they are forced to work full time to pay off debts or to make enough money to survive. This is a world wide epidemic and it has become a greater problemthroughout the years due to the increase of overpopulation.poverty,etc. Many countries do not have a rigid economic system like the United States, there is alot of corrupted countries and children are the major ones who suffer.
