History Of Child Labour in China

       Child Labour has been around for a while, but lately it's just been getting more noticeable. How far has it existed though? Study's say child labour in China has been occurring since 1849! Do you know how many children have been effected since then? Too many to count! One of the major causes for child labour in China is poverty. Many families can't afford to pay/ look after their kids, so they drive them to the city where they can get put to work for years to come, and forget all about their education. Child Labour in China has increased over the years, why you ask? Well, the standard of living has increased enormously, but the Chinese haven't yet been able to keep up with it, causing them to go deeper below the poverty line and then more children are put to work. These children are put to work fourteen hours a day, with no breaks or pay. And we hear people in Canada and the USA complaining they're getting paid minimum wage! Also, it is said that the majority of child labours are girls... All we worry about is making sure our shirt comes in from across the world right before one of our dances so we can wear it, in China, the children worry about making your shirt correctly and in time so they don't get punished! Now that's been going on for around seventy-six years! Almost all of the child-labourers have dropped out of school, so they can give their full attention to work. This problem has been going on for  a hundred and seventy-six years and no one noticed anything, or even shows any interest of stopping it either! I encourage you to watch this video, so you can learn all about what's truly going on right now. I hope this video makes you learn even more about what the poor children in china have been going through for the past one hundred and seventy-six years!, and hopefully it can stop ASAP.
