did admit that there were instances in which the condition was ignored. When Nike was
accused for their employment of children in Cambodia , they defended themselves by
stating that fake evidence of age could be bought in Cambodia for as little as $5. The
detractors claimed that only a tiny fraction of the £70 cost of a pair of its shoes goes to the
workers who make them.
My opinion
In my opinion I feel that child Labor should be abolished under all circumstances. Child labor
threatens children’s physical, mental, or emotional well-being. This prevents children from
attending school which can affect their future. Child labor to me is a work that is harming
children’s life. If children start working at such a young age what will they do when they
grow up? In my opinion, I feel that all governments of the representative countries should
also agree about the abolishment of child labor.
I feel that less well off people should be able to receive a job that is able to help
their children to get in to schools. Usually children actually agree to working because they
know that this is the only way to help support their family. So I feel that governments of
third world countries should step up and try to observe the situation going on and try to fix
it.
Questions
Q1) Child labour stills goes on in India and Pakistan, how does one go about trying to eliminate this?
Q2) As the article has said "fake evidence" of age could be bought in Cambodia for as little as $5, what can be done to make sure that this won't happen again and should the respective governments be involved in this issue?
Q3) All these multinational companies transfer their jobs to third world countries because it’s cheaper and thus sometimes exposing younger kids to child labour. Should we allow multinational cooperation to work outside their own country of origin? What are some of the benefits and negatives?
Q4) Looking at from the 3rd world countries, families of these children being worked are tremendously glad as they all get extra income to their families. Even whatever little they get, it’s a huge boost to the family’s income. Do u think it’s fair to not allow the opportunity for these poor families to make money? Or should we stick with protecting human rights?
