In this post I will show you a specific case on Brazil.
"It is forbiden any work for minors fourteen years of age, except on condition apprentice": that is what tells the Status of Children and Adolescents. However, in Brazil, as in most of the world, there is child exploitation. Thousands of children and adolescents work and a lot.
Why do children work? There are adults who support saying that child labor is a disciplinary practice, prepares for life, is a way to avoid idleness. Indeed, the main reason why children work is the poverty of their families.
This is a serious problem because if children work, he/she can't frequent school or made activities adequated of his/her age which afecct their formation.
Most working children live in rural areas. Working conditions in the field are very difficult and harmful to health. Only children sometimes receive payment and even then, very little, in general, child labor is considered aid and is not paid.
A scholar of the matter stated that "it is difficult to find in Brazil a commodity that has not the mark of the hand of a child" (Carlos Alexim, the International Labor Organization).
In several regions of the country, are therefore, child labor, activities in arduous, dangerous, unprotected, with no labor rights, without payment or very poorly paid - and no school. More than half of children and young people who work trying to reconcile work and study. This reconciliation is difficult, with many comings and goings. Often young people end up abandoning their studies.
