Abstract

Society's most valuable resource, children, should be given the opportunity to grow and develop in a nurturing and safe environment. Even though children have worked for most of history and in virtually every culture, this has typically been done in the context of a family, where they could learn about adult roles and responsibilities while also earning respect and status within the community while also building their own self-esteem and self-confidence as capable and self-reliant individuals. “However, many youngsters are pushed to do jobs over lengthy hours that are improper for their stage of development and constitute a major violation of their rights.
