11 Countries That Have The Most Child Labor

In ancient Greece, children are not considered to be persons until they reach the age of 18. Until then, they are just tiny creatures someone needs to take care of and after they were old enough, they started working along with their family. The day they turned 18, they became the official residents with rights. After a while, people started paying attention to their education, but the whole relationship between adults and kids remained the same and it wasn’t until the 18th century when people started paying attention to these tiny humans’ feelings and mental health. The interesting thing is that before this all started, children were the biggest blessing and Romans, for example, hired tutors for their children that had to follow children anywhere and raise them properly along with providing them the proper education. Insidermonkey experts made a list of 11 countries that have the most child labor.

Unfortunately, not every part of the world passed the 18th century in this matter. There are some parts of the world that still uses children as the cheap working force and don’t allow them to have a proper childhood, but make them work in unhealthy, unsafe environment in order to get the most profit for themselves. So why do people do that? Well, do the math. Children are either obligated to work or their parents don’t have enough money for living. That’s why children seek for whatever job they can get for the lowest salary. On the other hand, employers would have to pay more than a double to adult to do the same job, which means that they would spend the extra cash and, after the product was sold, he would get the lower profit.
