Child Labor

One of the areas where human rights is being violated is child labor. These children work for reasons like helping support their families financially, or because of cultural and social standard. While child labor has some positive attributes like experience, it is an economic issue because it often takes away a child’s right to education. Child labor has been an issue for a long time. It is a problem being tackled by organizations like the International Labor Organization (ILO). This organization has adopted conventions that protect children under a certain age form labor. Since 1973, the minimum age to work is when the child completed compulsory schooling, which is about 15 years old. In 1999, the ILO considered the minimum working age to be 18. While the ILO encourages these conventions, about 218 million children are still victims of child labor. 



Globalization is essentially a growing trend of independent markets. It is when a small occurrence transforms into a well-known entity. Child labor is related to globalization because, while it is more popular in some nations, it is a global issue and concern. This impacts people in modern and developing regions in the world because like a fad, these trends often spread quickly and easily.
