Two Senses Of Child Labour

The impact of children trafficking on the Children and their Communities presented “ It is very common that a majority of them quit schooling to work for their family’s survival.” This statement goes for older children. Obviously, the child wanted to support his or her family, but only found a job which he or she most likely did not know what it was about. “ Girls trafficked into prostitution are very unlikely to be provided with enough time and encouraging atmosphere to go to school, to study, or to develop other skills necessary for a career change,” said the Impact of children trafficking on the Children and their Communities. Because the girls do not have enough support or time they will most likely not want to study.

To begin, the lack of financial stability in the Walls family has always been problematic, however as the mother of her children, Rose Mary never contributed much to the family income due to her stubbornness and free-spirited nature. A prime example of Rose Mary not providing for her family is a constant lack of food in the house. The children’s hunger is apparent when Jeannette says, “We did eat less. Once we lost our credit at the commissary, we quickly ran out of food. Sometimes Dad’s odd jobs would come through, or he’d win some money gambling, and we’d eat for a few days.

As Tierney explains, certain types of work as apprenticeship or family related chores after school can be constructive learning experience. But the type of child labor that has become the focus of international concern is the abusive, unhealthy, commercial exploitation of children that interferes with their education. Children who help their parents at home are developing useful skills for the near future but those who are working under harsh conditions in the industries, factories, farms, mines in order to get paid are only destroying their future. For example, in Mexico there are 30% of children as early as six and seven years working

If we include the part time workers, this number shoots up to 3.22 mn. The working children are primarily boys who carry the burden of the patriarchal social construct in their roles as protectors/ providers of the family and at that young age have to shoulder the responsibilities of the family. Still India has for education and development of a girl child and not for a boy child. Child Labour, consisting of children below 14 years of age, is defined by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) as the type of work performed by children that deprives them of their childhood and their dignity, which hampers their access to education and acquisition of skills and which is performed under conditions harmful to their health and their development. Children are the greatest gift to humanity and the same gift is being misused for personal gains as child labour.

Unlike A Small Act, the viewer becomes more emotionally invested in the children. The plight of the Indian children is emphasized more and realistically, they suffer a greater plight than that of the Kenyan children. Kimani, Ruth, and Caroline have support from their families and in general from the community, but the Brothel children do not have encouragement to look for better opportunities from their families or the others around them. Their only source of hope is Zana and their photography which is their form of catharsis. Kimani, Ruth, and Caroline are all given opportunities to go to secondary school, but again this is not true of the Indiana children.

Just like what we are learning now in the class, women who were slave didn’t have any choice over anything whatsoever, they have to work extra for better food and clothing and better care of their kids. Sometimes they even have to conduct sexual activity with slave

Blindly, we refused to see the world differently from how we were raised. But parts of the world where much of the land is inhabited by families with scarce income, children are more likely to be forced to work because of poverty. Therefore children are easily stolen daily because

The underprivileged kids were already used to living in a big groups of people and having to share their food with adults because adults needed the strength to go to work with a little bit of energy to do their job right since they got paid more. The adults who do work don 't get paid as bad as children do, adults in different countries who did not work found it hard to get jobs because most kids worked all the jobs, kids were more useful because they were smaller and could fit into tighter places, there was less work for adults due to child labor. Families really needed the income to maintain their average family even if they all got paid in different ways as an article quoted,’’ Paid a fraction of what adults got paid. ’’ kids were only allowed a fraction of what they were supposed to get paid, they only got paid a portion of their pay, for all that hard work and nothing in return ?

They are still young and have no job, so they are cannot support their life, and when a baby born, they become a poverty families that is causing a child poverty. Another cause is parents with lower levels of education, so they do not have much choice of a job where they can work and earn some money to feed a family and all the household expenses. These child poverty will never have a good food to eat, good clothes to wear, and a good education like everyone else in a wealthy family. The following quote I found is

Education is one of the most significant parts of success, yet many Americans are living in poverty because they were never able to receive an education that would allow them be successful members of our society. America has the technology and financial resources to give all of its citizens an exceptional education, but lower class citizens often fall through the cracks of the education system. From a very early age, poor children learn what social class they belong to based on their experiences with educational inequality. Felice Yeskel, a writer who examined the impact that education has on social class, stated that “Educational inequality starts early in life, beginning with uneven access to high-quality, center-based early childcare. It

In the working/poor class, children have hardly no access to resources, they have to miss school because they have no clean clothes, or not being able to talk to a doctor because they have don’t have the language to communicate. Some of the pros are that they are around their family; they strive to be better and working harder. They will understand the value of a dollar. So my hypothesis was both right and wrong. The only part of my hypothesis that is wrong is that culture plays a part of raising their child.

Another issue with the current state of the minimum wage in the United States is that it is unfair to the children that grow up in poverty because they did not even have a choice. Speaking from my own personal experiences, oftentimes these children have to watch their parent(s) work hard to support the family yet, they still struggle. Nothing felt worse than when a child who is well off simply says their parents work hard to be where they are as if your own parents don’t. The children who came from well-off families often times treat the children that are not well off extremely poorly by ridiculing the children about the clothes they wear, the toys they have, and etc. I remember one of the worst times of the year was Christmas time when you heard that your other classmates got everything they wanted and when you tell them the measly amount of things you got and they respond with “is that all.”

In Warren St. John’s

In a research done by John Hopkins it was concluded that “They found that a child 's fate is in many ways fixed at birth — determined by family strength and the parents ' financial status. The kids who got a better start — because their parents were married and working — ended up better off. Most of the poor kids from single-parent families stayed poor.”

What Is child labor? Child labor is not your mom making you fold the laundry, or do the dishes. It’s much more serious. Child labor is the use of children in industry or business, especially when illegal or considered inhumane. The reason why child labor is a problem is because it 's not good for the kids to work, and they don’t get a good education.
