Child labour is good to an extent. If you mean that a child has a job and is worked hard then yes
because it gives the child a sense of responsibilty and an insight intent the working world. If you
mean children in sweat shops then no. |

For developed country, as “Grokit” said ‘ its good inside home ‘ because in my view the
child will learn something good.
But Child labor should become official in poor countries especially for kids over12, because poor
countries children don’t have good education chances
So instead of playing with out toys and wasting time annoying their families, adding that they might
became criminals, its better for them to learn a profession and get a job help their selves and
family.
Look at the advantage of children labor:
*learning something useful.
*having responsibility.
*helping the family.
*having pocket money
*buying food
*staying away from crimes
I think they have more reasons… |

Bad as employment, but good in the home. |

O.K. For pocket money, but, perpetuates poverty in the third world. |

I do not think that child labour is anything short of abuse.
Children are not slaves.
It is Ignoble, is what it is.
So I disagree. |

Definition plays a key role in the answer. Is a "child" anyone under 18, or 13, or what (?),
because I don't think a six year old should be sewwing clothes but I also don't think there's
anything wrong with a teenager working at McDonalds for some extra cash. And does "labour" mean any
job that pays money whether it be a factory assemly line or mowing the neighbors yard or is it
narrowed down in some way?
In the stereotypical sense (grade school age kids working on an assembly line) it's bad because a)
the hours interfere with steps necessary to their growing into an adult (education, socializing,
play), b) the pay isn't usually their's it's their parents' or guardians', c) the work is usually
tedious lowest of the low tasks which most adults don't want to do, d) they're more susceptible to
communicable diseases and to a general decline in their health during their important formative
years, e) they aren't empowered or capable of standing up to authorities for fair wages and
conditions and thus easily abused, f) they're quite often exposed to toxins, chemicals, or machinery
which may be hazardous to their proper growth, g) I'm sure there's some basis for arguing it's
simply evil. And I've probably missed a bunch of reasons too. |
