Child Social Labor

The main social issue facing child labor is the safety and health of the child that is working. Every child deserves to be safe and healthy and by working in these poor conditions for long hours like they do it is jeopardizing their health and safety. Some of these children are working around dangerous machines and hot conditions that are not safe for children to be around. In order to access these machines to do their job they have to use unstable things to climb on and are also surrounded by share objects that they could do permanent damage to their bodies with or may even potentially die.

If child labor did not exist then worse things could happen to these children but it is also not fair to these kids to have to work the long, tiring hours in poor conditions that these factories provide. http://www.globalissues.org/article/62/child-labor
