Is child labor good or bad?

Nowadays many children work at some work positions working hard, earning little amount of money, wasting the childhood recognizing the purpose or not, voluntarily or not... Is it acceptable in our society or not? Should we think about it?

It depends on your definition of "child labor". If the conditions are bad, I am against it, but if the conditions are good, I support it. The thing that matters is workers rights.

I'm talking about that children who are working at chemical factories and breathing mineral dust, which causes many health problems as asthma.

It's a major problem today to have kids as young as ten doing long, menial tasks, for little pay when they could be getting an education to help them succeed in the future, but I don't think cutting it is going to help. There are people who NEED to make that meager pay to get their next meal and just survive. The best way to end child labor is to form a charity of sorts to pay for a kid's living while he's in school and implement that in some third world country. Would education be better these kids? Of course! Can they afford to go to school and starve? Yeah... no.

Well played. I agree. As long as the conditions are good, I have no problem with children working.

Once people start working from a young age, they typically find it hard to develop the skills they need to excel in non-labour jobs in the future. You need education to develop skills which are necessary to the development of nations.

I also find it someone amusing/disturbing that the ban of child labour in the US & UK in the 1800s was claimed to be an attack on the free market. Just shows you how much perspectives has changed.

i wish you had left this open to just perspectives and not yes or no

personally when i was buying the clothes under the label of kathy lee-who used child labor (claimed she did not know)

those were some awesome threads and they stayed in good condition for a long time

to my mind it is not good idea, because the main idea which should be reached by young generation is getting knowledge. of course they can work now but they lose such priceless time. with education it will much easier to find good-paid job in the future than without it

yes, it is good idea, i like it!!! well done. Also, by knowledge people can improve their own country and develop the economy. but to do it people need to have good knowledge, to have a good knowledge people should study hard.

For those for it how would you feel if you had to make nike shoes for 83 cents a day and then paying for the stuff like food homes and other stuff that it gives you. See the laborer's side before you say anything! I see children upset but I don't know for sure but this is what I believe

Side: I'm against of child labor

Child labor is bad because it is abuse and countries that engage in it should have sanctions levied.
