Child labor is the use of children as people who earn money. It became a serious social problem in the British Industrial Revolution of the 1700s, along with its industrialization, the problem also spread to other countries.

Child labor is a serious problem in many parts of the world, especially in developing countries. Labor is defined as a physical or mental work, especially a hard or exhausted job. (Webster Dictionary) Child labor is a work usually done by a child under the age of 15 and limits or impairs physical, emotional, intellectual, social or spiritual growth as a child. The ILO estimates that 250 million children are working worldwide between the ages of 5 and 14.

There are many reports on child labor in the cotton sector. According to World Vision Australia's report, 99% of the world's cotton farmers are in developing countries and nearly two-thirds are from India and China. Organizations found that children working in these cotton fields are "hardly received even with compensation". For example, children working in cottonseed farms in Gujarat, India can earn less than 75 cents a day. They may work 12 hours a day at "extreme temperatures". According to the World Vision report, child labor in Uzbekistan, India, China and Egypt was also found "on a large scale alarming thing."

The elimination of child labor shows that "Free Children" sent a survey to Third World Countries to investigate child labor. At the same time, Aram Rahman, a student at the University of Toronto and a friend from Bangladesh, will travel to Bangladesh. I found Aram in Bengali and then visited five countries for a seven week trip in Nepal, India, Pakistan, Thailand and Bangladesh. My parents paid my travel expenses. I talked to a lot of children over there. You can read child labor, but in order to really understand it, you have to look into their eyes and see where they work. I went to a brick kiln where the children were making bricks all day. I tried it and saw how difficult it was. I did it for a while, and I got tired. I do not think that children are working here all day.
