Although in abstract terms most people do believe that employment of children is wrong, cruel, and inhumane, yet contrasting arguments exist in defense of this issue. In fact, the supporters of child labor argue that working children is acceptable as long as it doesn’t get in the way of their school work. It also supports the financial status of their families which can be extremely important for poor families in underprivileged countries. They say that children should work to survive; otherwise, they won’t be able to help their families and meet the minimum standards for a peaceful life. So, they believe that poverty is a justified explanation for child labor.
I am 100% with those who support child labor. people have do differentiate between child labor and child discrimination. child labor is when a child needs work in order to survive but at the same time he is not deprived from his basic rights, education, food and home. those children work in order to help their parents survive, but the point is that we always tend to behave badly toward poor people, and we do not lose any opportunity to treat them as slaves and benefit from their low working labor wage.
