Why Be Child Labour Should Be Abolished Persuasive Essay

Around the world there are more than 190 million children that are working under the age of 15. Children are dealing with brutal working conditions that they shouldn’t have to go through at such a young age. These children have to put up with consequences and long hours that can harm them even though they don’t deserve to have this done to them. The jobs that the companies put the children through is hazardous and unsafe for their health, also themselves as well. There should be child labor laws because of the safety issues, how young they are, and the hours the kids are working at such a young age.
Child labor started in the United States in the 1700’s to around the early 1800’s, but America decided to change their child labor laws to increase
in age. In other countries child labor is still going on to this day. In Asia alone there is nearly 114 million child laborers working in hazardous environments and working crazy hours. 73 million of the world's child laborers are under the age of 10 years old, this is a very dangerous situations because the younger the children are, the more likely they’re going to get hurt easier. In the less developed countries, 1 and 4 children from the ages 5-14 are engaged with labor that is dangerous to the child's health and well being. Countries that put their children through this are cruel and don’t understand the danger that they’re putting the children through.
Children that are put through child labor are learning more about real world life skills, more than they would at school.
The children today are experiencing lots from these jobs at a young age. Children even get to learn how to take care of themselves and other people around them. These children may get to learn all these things but, they shouldn’t have to worry about the stressful things about working till they’re more mature and older enough to understand it all. In poor countries families aren’t able to provide for themselves, but if the children get to work at a young age they can help provide for their families and help feed themselves. Children helping out with their families is very good because they get to show their love for them, but children don’t need to pay for their food and homes the parents should be taking that responsibility to provide for their family. Having children helping out with their families and also getting a young education from this working experience is a good thing to have in your life. Children shouldn’t have to take the responsibility of working at such a young age. They should be living their childhood right and not be stuck doing work 24/7. You only get to live your childhood once, so live it to the
fullest.
Child labor is a thing that has been happening since the 1700’s and it still continues today. Child labor laws should exist to keep the children safe and not endangered from getting hurt or possibly die. In future terms the child laborers around the world will increase because of how fast the world's populations is growing. But we could stop that from increasing to decreasing the child laborers. What needs to be done about this issue is to take a stance and fight for the children to be free and live a happy childhood, because you only get one childhood.
