1) INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this essay is to provide discuss analyze different points and thoughts of an important and vital issue which is child labor. There are a lot of opinions around by this topic and there are also investigates and researches which emphasize clearly into terminology of child labor, causes, consequences, images of it and includes a conclusion about this problem.
2) TERMINOLOGY-FURTHER ANALYSIS
First of all according to CRC (Convention on the Rights of a Child) a child is a person under the age of 18 years. This definition is used when referring to children in all ages, even if adolescents in some cases would have been more appropriate.
As child labor is a social construct and in addition a natural phenomenon, however there is no signal, correct and indisputable definition. Actually I use the definition of child labor stated by UNICEF ‘’ UNICEF defines child labor as a work that exceeds a minimum number of hours , depending on the age
