1. Child Exploitation

2. Child exploitation is the
use for economic
purposes of minors by
adults and affects as a
result, personal and
emotional

rights.

3. Child protection from violence
and abuse
In sub-Saharan Africa, approximately 1 in 3
children work, representing a figure of 69 million
children.
In South Asia there are another 44 million working
children.
The most recent estimates of this indicator are
reported in Child Protection UNICEF's annual
publication State of the World's Children.

4. It is estimated that worldwide there are 158 million
children between 5 and 14 years of age,
equivalent to 1 in 6 children. Millions of children
work in hazardous conditions.
Children living in the poorest households and in
rural areas are more likely to be victims of child
labor. Generally, domestic work falls mostly in
girls. Millions of girls who work as domestic
workers are vulnerable to exploitation and abuse.
The work often interferes with the education of
children. Ensure that all children attend school
and receive a quality education are the keys to
preventing child labor.

8. Child labor refers to work of children in the production
economic system of a country or a region, and the economic
livelihood of a family unit.
It is more correct to use the term
"child labor" instead of the generic
term "child labor"
because there are ways to work
involving children and adolescents,

exploitation or abuse, such as work
training specific to the ancestral
cultures or temporary work during
holiday periods of schoolboys in
urban societies.

regions of the country. Faced with this
problem in the department of Nariño, the
company participated for the third
consecutive year.

adolescents.

different personalities at the departmental
and local levels as well as institutions and
organizations both state and private. It

10. What is child labor?
It is the job of preventing children's education, threatens their
physical or mental health and prevent them from playing,
days exceeding twelve hours, very low pay and work affecting
the dignity or self-esteem.
Girls suffer a double discrimination: as women, and are more
vulnerable to all forms of exploitation, especially sexual abuse
and prostitution.
Excluded from education and trapped in the vicious circle of
poverty, these child laborers are undermined their basic
rights, their health and even their lives.
Child exploitation is assumed within the family as a source of
income accepted by all its members.
On the other hand a child is more profitable than an adult
because of his helplessness, submission, and the fact that
performs the same job as an adult, without any complaint and
remuneration very less.

11. Types of operation:
· "400 million children / as work being exploited
worldwide"
· "1 million children / as prostitutes in Asia"
· "Between 10% and 15% of children / as in
industrialized countries are victims of sexual
abuse"

12. Characteristics of child labor:
Always is of operating conditions and has the following features:
full time job
very long working hours
work and life on the streets in bad conditions
low pay
work that hampers access to education
works that undermine the dignity and self-esteem of children such as
slavery or bonded labor and sexual exploitation
work that is detrimental to full social and psychological development
Aspects of child development that may be adversely affected by the work
are:
Physical development, covering general health.
Cognitive development, covering literacy, numeracy and the
acquisition of skills needed for life.
Emotional development, covering esteem, affection, etc..
Social and moral development, which includes the sense of group
identity and the ability to distinguish right from wrong.

13. How many children in the world are victims
of child exploitation?
No one knows exactly. Globally, the overall picture can
consist only in broad strokes. The vast majority live in Asia,
Africa and Latin America. 50% are found only in Asia. In Africa
works one in three children and Latin America the ratio is one
in five children. Child labor has increased in the countries of
Central and Eastern Europe as a result of the incorporation of
these countries into the capitalist economy. In industrialized
countries like the United Kingdom and the United States,
seeking greater flexibility in the labor force has contributed to
the expansion of child labor. In USA, a survey conducted in
1990 on Hispanic children working on farms in the State of
New York found that nearly half doing their jobs in fields still
wet with pesticides, and over a third had been sprayed
directly.

14. The roots of child labor:
The most powerful force that leads children to dangerous and exhausting
work is the exploitation of poverty. Parents of children are often unemployed
and desperate for a job. However, not them but their children who receive
job offers. Moral: children are employed because they are easier to exploit.
The international economic development in recent decades has contributed
to increase the reserve of poor children that can be exploited. Structural
adjustment programs imposed on the economies of the industrialized
countries by the World Bank and IMF led social spending cuts brutally beat
the poor. In Zimbabwe, for example, an ILO report has linked the explosion
of child labor directly to the impact of the structural adjustment program in
the country "advised" by the IMF.
This is, in short, the situation of most of the children in the world. A world that
live the telecommunications boom, consumption, waste ... A world where the
taste for frivolity and money prevent capture the expression of the eyes of
millions of children who suffer the consequences of a system of which they
not even aware.
It is unconscionable that we so clearly and constantly attacked the rights of
children and not be able to defend them. It is inexcusable that the
exploitation, assault, violate, murder children, and not stir our conscience
and feel that our dignity is challenged to oppose frontally, most criminal in
the face of a system that is, at bottom, infanticidal .

15. Solutions to the problem of child
labor:

of child labor, poverty, economic exploitation,
social values and cultural circumstances ...​​
