    TOOLS OR TOYS

    Child labor has been a controversial issue around the world, it have been related

    to poverty, inadequate educational opportunities and gender inequity. The

    common knowledge about child labor its related to every work performed by an

    under aged child (where they are classified between 5 - 14 years-old and from 14-

    18 years-old children). Actually not all work children do is child labor, some forms

    of work teach important skills, responsibilities and contribute a healthy

    development, regarding many situations where children work are consider child

    labor because they are harmful, hazardous and keep children away from

    attending school.

    Most children begins working at a young age, working long hours at harmful jobs

    and receiving low wages and at high percent of them unpaid, as a result of these

    most children do not attend school as their parents did, referring to the family

    economy the children wages might represent more upcoming resources to help

    them to survive at the moment, but what they can’t see is the loss of the future
    opportunity of having a higher life standard for all the family members as a long

    term consequence, that’s why Lack of education leads child labor to be inherited

    in families.

    Although child labor is considering a global health problem, where is not only a

    physical health problem, also it is a mental and moral health problem, also the

    consequences have to be classified as a short term or long term, as an example of

    shot term the poor nutrition of children can lead to diseases, and a long term

    example could be seen when the children reach their development with poor

    anthropomorphic results and a weak mental state.

    The health impact of child labor according to the ILO (International Labor

    Organization) is a measurement of risk and need of a country; therefore

    something has to be done in order to decrease child labor statistics; according to

    ILO the right procedure is first helping the countries with the highest level of

    health impact, above all there is a settle down program by the ILO which is called

    IPEC (International program on the elimination of child labor); it was created in


    1992 with the prime goal of the progressive elimination of child labor by

    strengthening the capacity of developing countries to deal with the problem and

    promoting a worldwide campaign to combat child labor; its resources are basically

    donations made by different governments and private business, they work with

    volunteers such as community-based organizations, universities, religious groups,

    parliamentarians, the children and families themselves.
