Child Labor

The child labor is a form of work where children and adolescents, below of the allowed age to work, are forced to work in order to earn money (most of times not for them).

This work is, in general, forbidden by law. Specifically, the most harmful and cruel forms of work not only are forbidden, but also constitute crime.

This type of work is common in underdeveloped countries. An example of those countries is Africa, where in the poor regions this work is common. The majority of the times this occurs due to the necessity to help the family financially. Many of those families are generally poor people who have many children.

Although there are laws who forbid officially this type of work, it is common in the great cities of underdeveloped.

Parents are officially responsible for their children but the juridical system don´t usually punish them. The action of justice is normally applied to the ones who contracts minors, however those penalties are never applied.
