The Abolition of Child Labor

The abolition of child labor refers to the efforts to end the employment of children in work that is harmful, exploitative, or prevents their education and development. Historically, many children worked in difficult conditions for little pay, often in factories, farms, or mines. Recognizing that such work hampers their health, education, and future, governments and organizations have implemented laws and initiatives to protect children. The goal is to ensure children can enjoy their childhood, receive an education, and develop in safe environments, ultimately fostering healthier, more equitable societies.
