Child Workers in Asia

Child labor in Asia refers to the employment of children in various industries, often in conditions that are harmful to their health and development. Many children work in agriculture, manufacturing, and service sectors due to poverty and lack of access to education. This issue is often exacerbated by economic factors, cultural norms, and inadequate enforcement of labor laws. Child workers may miss out on schooling, leading to a cycle of poverty. Efforts are being made by governments and organizations to combat child labor, promote education, and improve working conditions, but challenges remain significant across the region.
