Child Workers in Asia (CWA)

Child Workers in Asia (CWA) refers to children engaged in labor across Asian countries, often due to economic hardship, family necessity, or lack of access to education. These children may work in agriculture, factories, or domestic settings, sometimes under hazardous conditions. While some forms of child labor are traditional or informal, many are exploitative, limiting children's development and well-being. Recognizing the complexity, efforts aim to reduce harmful child labor through education, social programs, and legal protections, ensuring children can enjoy safe childhoods and better futures.
