Child Labor
Something that deprives them from their childhood, can be harmful to their mental and physical state. Young kids only working for not much, little time for play and education. 215 million children working full-time. Why- pledged by parents, kidnapped, domestic service. Kind of like slaves. Condition- overcrowded, little care, poor nutrition, little pay, hazardous environments. Types- slavery, drug trafficking, prostitution, armed conflict, agriculture, machinery, mining. What's being done- changing the public's opinion, promote free education, bargaining strategies, minimum working age. Biggest problem is in southern Africa. Farms is the biggest problem, second would be children working in factories.
Child Brides
Just like it says. It's usually set up by the parents. They do it a lot to give their children a chance at life. Happens far more often with girls. Sometimes it's because they can't afford to send their kids to school. The parents of the daughter must pay a dowry to the boys family she marries. So most people want sons so they don't have to pay a dowry. More than 30% of girls are married before turning 18. A lot of countries have countries against this, but a lot of the times they aren't enforced.
