Question

Child labor is a serious challenge throughout Central and East Asia, especially in agricultural communities where cash crops are grown. Using complete sentences, identify the two largest cash crops grown in Central Asia. Why do you think that most of the world is against the practice of child labor? Do you think that child labor could hurt a country’s future development?

Answer 1

When it comes to cash crops that producers grow to sell, two most profitable ones in this area are cotton and rice., followed by wheat. Since agricultural comunities are very poor and the families are large, children get employed to work on the field since young age. Some of them work with their families at their own land and that is not considered to be a violation of law. However, if children are given to work as labour force on large plantations and are urged to work longer hours for a very small wage or a meal, that can be considered a violation of human rights. In the long run, children who do the heavy work form a young age are not able to attend school or get their higher education. They are more prone to illnesses and malnutrition.

Answer 2

Answer:

People in Central Asia grow cotton and rice mostly. The agricultural families are very poor and they have a lot of children. So the children start working at a young age. I think that most of the world in against child labor because if they get a job at a young age, then they won't be able to go to school. That is bad for two reasons. One, every child should be able to go to school. And two, if the children don't go to school then less people in the country will have an education and the country will suffer.That is why it would hurt the countries future development.

Hope this helped! :)
