What is the issue or problem?

Child Labour is when a child is forced to work. Every year, 22,000 children die from accidents

related to their work. And that doesn’t say anything about the mental and emotional harm of being forced to work long, hard hours or experiencing things that no person should.

There are 218 million child labourers around the world.

Out of 10 working children, seven work in agriculture, two in services and one in industry.
