Young children the age of 5 to 14 or 15 forced to work in Kabul. 1.2 Million children are forced to work in Afghanistan alone. In Kabul its 50 to 60 thousand children labor, the children are forced to work because of the poverty. Most of the children get taken advantage of, by getting little or no pay from their costumers. The children work up to 12 hours a day even more. There is about a low chance of these kids getting an education. Children that work provide for the entire family. Another reason why the children are forced into labor is because their father is either ill or disabled and their mother doesn't/can't work.
My thoughts.
I think this is really bad because i was watching the video linked to the child workers and it had this little boy with a hammer smashing hot metal almost in tears because the job was to hard.
I hope this will change soon because most of the children need the education. The people who force the children have no choice though, because their father or mother can't work.
