Abstract

Child labor is a social problem invading the world and especially the less developed countries where educational levels are low. Despite the laws that are enforced each year by international agencies to prevent child labor, reality does not reflect the efficacy of these laws. Two cases, one international and one local, reflect how abused children are being treated around the world and how their rights are being invaded. Illiterate poor families as well as businesses contribute in taking advantage of child labor in serving their own profits, especially with the lack of strict regulations that abolish this issue. Child labor is an issue that cannot be neglected and a human right concern. It is affecting children negatively because they are being exploited and forced to work at a very early age, while other children are getting educated and having a proper childhood. This chapter explores child labor.
