Question

After analyzing the costs and benefits of continuing child labor or passing a bill that prohibits child labor, which option do you think is the wisest decision, and why?

Answer 1

After analyzing the costs and benefits of continuing child labor or passing a bill that prohibits child labor, the most viable worldwide option is to promote the prohibition of child labor. Certain factors that are involved in promoting child labor are illiteracy, poverty as one of the majors, unemployment, and many family problems. There are several professions in which child labor is growing day by day, including farming as major, fishing, forestry and construction.

To prevent the child labor, in the current era, media plays an important role to enforce the laws made by governments. Laws are made ensuring the work standards, such as a minimum age for people to start work, minimum wages for workers, and anti-discrimination. The rights of children are the foremost priority while making laws but the problem is awareness among the people. People should be educated enough to understand their rights. Governments should provide a proper gateway where children can get their basic rights including education food and clothes.
