Essay details

Please note! This essay has been submitted by a student.

 “Why does child labor happen?” It happens because the parents do not have enough money to eat or because they can't take care of them, so they sell their kids to do underage working. Or they work to help their families. It could also happen if the kids are not well educated. That's the basic reason why it happens. It could also happen if the kids were kidnapped, or if the kids choose to do this but the manager kept the child or paid under the minimum wage.

The kids do have a choice, but still, they still would be in bad conditions, and when they leave they would get blacklisted if they had even one error. Some Kids enjoyed their jobs as it gave them money to use when they needed it, or to use for things they desired. The kids would then be poor because their boss would give them close to 20¢ a day. They also chose work out of school, people said it was because “School was boring and tiring” I said “*hmph* only sometimes it’s boring and it can still be fun”. So what's your perspective, was the child labor helpful in some ways, or was it just a plain greed problem
