Today ill be talking about how child labour affects the children in africa. In africa theres a big problem with child labour. Africa is the highest rated country in the world forof child labour being 72.1 million and around 31.5 doing very risky work. In Africa they start making them do work at around 5-17 years old. The type of work kids do in Africa is…
Child labour affects more than 160 million children worldwide denying them education and basic rights. Child labor is a violation of children's rights. The work can harm them mentally and physically, expose them to hazardous situations or stop them from going to school.
Effects of child labour From the most recent Global Estimates of Child Labour of 2017, there are 73 million children involved in hazardous work, that directly endangers their health and safety. Hazardous work can cause death, serious illness or injury, permanent disability or psychological damage, as a direct consequence of poor safety and health standards, exploitation or abuse.
Child labour needs to be stopped with collaborative efforts from many different agencies. Governments need to provide adequate educational facilities, build schools in marginalised areas, and offer support to reduce the rate of dropouts.
To stop this problem we need the adults to be paid more because they make their children do the labour because they aren't getting paid enough. If the parents get paid more the children won't have to do so much work. Then the kids can do normal kid life stuff like play sports, go to school, and live life. In Africa the adults aren't getting paid enough which is affecting the children, so what we need is for the adults to be paid more money than they are right now.
According to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, countries have an obligation to protect the children from engaging in work that negatively impacts their health, education or development; to set a minimum age for employment; and to regulate conditions of employment. In most cases, children are forced to work out of financial necessity. Poverty forces children to work to support their families financially, sometimes to give their families basic necessities like food and clean water. The poorer the family, the more likely that children become child labourers who need to drop out of school to work and support their families.
Nearly 76 million child labourers are aged 5 to 11 years; 42 million are 12-14 years old, and 37 million are 15-17 years old. Nineteen million children under 12 years old are forced to work under hazardous conditions. Nearly 60 per cent of all child labourers are young boys. ILO concluded that “boys appear to face a greater risk of child labour than girls, but this may also be a reflection of an under-reporting of girls’ work, particularly in domestic child labour.”
