According to estimates made by the International Labour Organization (ILO), the United Nations (UN) branch that specializes in labour matters, there are at least 250 million working children worldwide under the age of 15. Three-quarters of those young workers toil six or more days a week; 125 million children work nine hours or more each day. Over half the working children are in Asia, while in Africa 1 in 3 children work, and in Latin America, 1 in 5.

Young Labourers in South AsiaIn many countries, children endure hard physical labour and dangerous working conditions in factories and fields. Child labour is traditional in some countries in South Asia. Clockwise from left, a young girl crushes bricks with a hammer in Bangladesh; a Nepali girl harvests tea in India; and young children weave carpets in a factory in Nepal.

CHILD LABOUR DOES NOT OCCUR SOLELY IN POOR NATIONS; EVEN IN RICH NATIONS THERE ARE EMPLOYERS READY TO EXPLOIT CHILDREN. IN CALIFORNIA AND TEXAS, MANY MEXICAN IMMIGRANT CHILDREN WORK AS FARM LABOURERS, AND IN MANY WEALTHY COUNTRIES, CHILDREN HAVE BEEN FORCED INTO PROSTITUTION.

Poverty plays an enormous role in the phenomenon of child labor. Desperate for money, poor families around the world are forced to push even young children to work to increase the family's overall income. “For poor families the small contribution of a child's income or assistance at home that allows the parents to work can make the difference between hunger and a bare sufficiency,” according to the 1997 UNICEF report. A study of nine Latin American countries found that without the income of working children aged 13 to 17, the poverty rate would climb by 10 to 20 percent, the report found.

Many desperately poor parents pledge their children, sometimes as early as four years of age, to factory owners in exchange for modest loans, sometimes as small as $15. This practice is known as bonded labor and is, in effect, little different from slavery. No matter how hard they work, many children are unable to free themselves from bonded labor by repaying the underlying debt because the interest rate is often exorbitant and they are paid just pennies a day. In addition, factory owners often add financial penalties to the debt—for instance, when children make mistakes tying knots in a rug. And the debt is often handed down through the generations: Children are sometimes placed in bonded labor because their grandparents never repaid their debts.
