CHILD LABOR :

Unexpected condition

Industrialization era not only gives many advantages but also gives problems. The most serious problem is childs forced to be worker in factory and manufacture. The International Year of Child claimed that more than fifty million children below the age of fifteen working in varios jobs under hazardous conditions They usually do simple task and support their parents work, for example in shoe factory, textile factory, and cigarette factory. Although they can support their parents, child labor only gain little money for their contributions.

Child labor grow in unexpected condition, it means that children labor must barter their childhood with something that they should not have know in earliest stage of their life, working world. Child Labor lose their play time with their friends and it makes their social intelligence development very poor. Child labor also lack of education especially formal education, like kindergarten level, primary level, junior and higschool level also college level. The lack of formal education make their intelligence to anlyze and solve the problem is below average normal child in same age. Consequently they can’t compete others person who have formal education to get job and can’t make their life better. The last unexpected condition is child labor usually live in unhealthy environment, inadequate food, decentless shelter, and lack of clean water. These unexpected condition must be faced by child labor to stay alive.

The quantity of child labor is increase every year and sure it is bad news, not only for underdevelop country but also develop country . The effort to eliminate child labor expansion come from the International Labour Organization, sepecial agency of United Nations and founded in1919. This organization has introduced several regulations among its members,including a minimum age of sixteen years for admission to all work, a higher minimum age for specific type of employment , compulsory medical examinations, and regulation of night work. Although these regulations was made to solve child labor problems, The International Labour Organization can’t make ILO’s members enforce these regulations because the member nations have strategical and political policy in their nations. Moreover that is important if all of part of the world aware and care about labor child problem and give contribution to minimalize it.
