My Child Labour in China blog focuses on children in China, and how their lives are far more difficult that it appears to be.Which includes me explaining to my viewers what they actually go through daily, and the history of child labour in China.To many people, child labour just appears to be known as children spend their days sewing teddy bears for children in the USA. However, that's definitely not the case. Child labour is when young children (usually age 5) spend endless hours (missing their precious education time) doing adult jobs, such as cutting down sugar cane with huge weapons (where they can die from the heat,exhaustion, or very serious injuries, because no one teaches them how to use a spear, they have to figure it out for themselves), making clothing, and getting paid around 30 cents an hour max.
. Many children die yearly because of child labour. Children are supposed to be getting an education and really just having fun with their friends! Child Labour is very unhealthy and can harm their health in the future, because of all the pesticides and chemicals they have to deal with daily. One of the many rights that are being violated in China is the right to an education. Instead, the Chinese kids are wasting away their lives, just so we can have a shirt for tomorrow. However, China isn't the only place that contains suffering children, many more countries do too. I'm going to just be focusing on China, because if we just start off taking baby steps, this whole issue could go a long way... This image here shows what the possible results if we abolished child labour. See? Poverty could easily be decreased! We just have to realize what's going on currently in the world, and that's why I'm explaining all this to you!
