Well if what you meant in this “working children” is the child labor then of course I disagree. If they only do light work that doesn’t interfere with their education or school I think its okay, but if it’s comes to labor then I disagree. Child labor has serious consequences that stay with the individual. They face long-term physical, intellectual, emotional stress, and dangerous working conditions. All of this has bad effects for children.
Many people and country disagree about child labor. Some world leaders already committed their disagreement from 7 years ago by putting this labor problem into 8 millennium development Goals, and it also has been 8 years ago since the ILO Convention 182 of the worst forms of child labor accepted by world. There’s many International Law against this child labor. In 1926, there was conventions of the International Labor Organization and in 1956 the Slavery Conventions, and there was also the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. And don’t forget there’s also UNICEF which also against these child labor things.
Below there is some statement that I pick out from article 32 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child :
...States Parties recognize the right of the child to be protected from economic exploitation and from performing any work that is likely to be hazardous or to interfere with the child's education, or to be harmful to the child's health or physical, mental, spiritual, moral or social development.
In most countries, it is considered inappropriate or exploitative if a child below a certain age works, excluding household chores or schoolwork. An employer is often not allowed to hire a child below a certain age. This minimum age depends on the country;child labor laws in the United States set the minimum age to work in an establishment without parents' consent and restrictions at age 16.
Good.
