Millions of children work in unacceptable

conditions that are dangerous, hazardous

and simply tragic. Millions of girls working as house

servants are exploited and abused.

Child laborers in developing countries

often don’t get paid for their work. Those

who are paid make much less than adult

workers and are hardly able to contribute

financially to their families. Education is

impossible. Ending illegal child labor would help the

global economy, as creating proper

health care and education conditions, in

the end, are of greater benefit. It would

cost around $760 billion to end child

labor over a period of 20 years, while the

estimated benefit of better child

education and health is more than six

times that.

Around 215 million children world-wide

are engaged in child labour. Much of

this work is harmful, hazardous or

even dangerous to their health and to

their future life development. Children

everywhere should be able to have a

real childhood, to play, to learn at

school and to dream of a brighter

future.

However,In Lebanon eradicating child

labor is a difficult and complex task

because many families send their

children to work on the streets selling

gum or roses, not because they want

to but because they have to. They may

not have enough household income or

enough money to pay health bills or

school fees, without the child working.H E

Every child in the world must have the right to be

educated. Without education humans would go

nowhere and know absolutely nothing. We all have

to go to school. Why? Because we need as much

education as we can get.. Usually around the world

teenagers work in order to gain a little extra pocket

money, but this barely ever happens in Arab

countries, Lebanon included. Unlike child labor, this

is optional. It is completely unfair when parents

bring children into this world that they aren't able to

support. In Lebanon there is an extremely high

number of refugees that have no jobs and many

children and these children are running on the

streets, in between cars selling tissue boxes and

roses and chewing gum which usually ends up

killing them! If not from being ran over its because

of the dangers on the streets if not the streets, their

parents if they were not able to make enough

money . Not so long ago a man ran a 6 year old girl

over who was selling chewing gum in order to make

only around 10$ for her parents. This is

unacceptable. The innocent little soul wouldn't’t

have left us if she was in school learning instead.

What would the world be

like if kids could choose

for themselves the right

to go to school or the

right to work?      

It would be CRAZYYYY! No child in the

world knows what's best for him/her

without the guidance of the parents. Sure

now, some parents have absolutely no idea

of what they're doing but some others

defiantly are and this leads to independent

and wise children. If kids had an option it

SHOULD be the option to work but when it

comes to education nobody is to argue

since knowledge is brain food and every

child has the right to be healthy.
