Child labor hinders children’s education

On June 12th, at World Anti-Child Labor Day, the number of 5 to 17 children has decreased by 30% since 2000, but according to the International Labor Organization (ILO), there are 168 million There are people 's child laborers. More than half, 85 million people are engaged in dangerous work

In the 2015 report "Child Labor and Education - Progress, Challenges and Future Directions", the ILO will focus on the role of child labor in keeping children away from school and the quality of affordable, We analyzed the lack of school education. It is a factor. Entry into the labor market

Child labor has a big negative impact on enrollment rate. In some countries, the enrollment rate of child labor is only about half of the enrollment rate of non-working children.

There is a significant negative correlation between the level of economic activity of children aged 7 to 14 and the literacy rate of young people in the age group of 14 to 24 years old.

Boys and girls often do different things. For example, the proportion of girls in non-economic activities, such as working in "their own family", is too high. They are also often burdened with double work inside and outside the house and usually do not have much time to attend school.

We know that poverty often encourages children to get work but when they leave school to get a job early, they end up in a profession that limits the possibility of getting out of poverty The possibility is higher.

In order to achieve the goal of sustainable development education, children do not feed their families, children can go to school freely, and do not give high quality education to all children decent It is necessary to keep securing work. Therefore, we must continue to strive to explore and solve the relationship between education and child labor.

In this regard, there is an increasing literature on how labor participation hinders education from achieving this theme. Psacharopoulos (1997), on average, showed that child participation in labor reduces expected educational level by about 2 years compared to the control group of non-working children. In a crossover study, Davis and Voi (2009) also showed that there has been a significant negative correlation between school education and child labor over the years. In addition, Heady (2003) found that child labor greatly affects education. However, contrary to our expectations, we found that even if comparing the effects on children who received the same effect, the effect occurs directly.

So what is child labor? Child labor refers to the use of children in industry or commerce, especially when it is illegal. According to the article "History of Children" it began in the late 1700's and early 1800's during the Industrial Revolution, when families needed other people to work to make extra cash during the Industrial Revolution. According to the article "The fact of child labor", 218 million children aged 5 to 17 years are involved in child labor today. The same article also stated that children under the age of 18 occupied nearly 50% of all victims of forced labor. This shows that child labor is a major problem in the world.

Child labor in the United States Child labor was a major problem in American society from the 1700s to the early 1800s. Children have always worked in family business, regardless of whether they work in agriculture or family management in a particular workplace. As special support is needed to support the family, this usually happens to middle-class or middle-class families. When America experienced the industrial revolution, the phenomenon of child labor has changed dramatically. American Industry

Child labor during the industrialization period is normal - see child labor in 1800. A 7-year-old child in each industry is working 12 hours a day, accounting for 20% of the labor force. Their parents chose not to let them go to work as their small salary helped to support these families. Children were deprived of educational opportunities, jumped into the poverty whirlpool, unfamiliar uneducated workers could not escape. Industrialization in the United States also brought the collapse of the individuality of workers. The scale of the factory continues to expand, and as the labor force increases, the number of workers is increasing. Labor-management relations between workers and managerial staff is getting more and more human-like, and "trouble makers" and complainers can easily replace them.
