Why do children work?
Poverty, discrimination and marginalisation are the main drivers of child labour. Children in poor circumstances work because work is seen as the best use of their time in contributing to the needs of the family and preparing them for the life they are expected to lead.
Poverty leads millions of children into paying jobs or – especially for young girls – domestic work that may even be unpaid but removes the burden of feeding and housing the child.
In emergency situations - during or after conflicts or natural disasters - families who have had to flee from their homes often have to use their children to earn money just to pay for food.
Slide 7 - Tekstslide
Child labour is not always illegal
In many countries children working under the age of 18 is illegal - but not in all. Families and employers often hide what they are doing because they worry they will be taken to court or sent to prison for having child labourers.
Slide 8 - Tekstslide
What countries have child labourers?
Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan have the highest number of child labourers. They have also been affected for many years by wars and conflicts and have the highest numbers of children not at school.
Slide 9 - Tekstslide
War
Years of conflict in Syria has seen a dramatic increase in poverty among Syrian families and forced more children into the labour force, especially as refugees face restrictions to legal work from host country governments.
