Children in the Workforce

Children in the workforce refers to minors who are employed, often in various industries such as agriculture, manufacturing, or services. This situation can be due to economic necessity or cultural practices, but it raises concerns about their safety, health, and education. Laws in many countries aim to restrict child labor to protect children from exploitation and to ensure they have the opportunity to learn and develop properly. While some small jobs may be acceptable, widespread or hazardous child labor is considered a violation of children's rights and can have long-term negative impacts on their well-being.
