DEFINITION OF TERMS CHILD LABOR defined by Internationa Labour Oganization- ILO) The term "child labor" is often defined as work that deprives children of their childhood, their potential and their dignity, and that is harmful to physical and mental development. It refers to work that: • is mentally, physically, socially or morally dangerous and harmful to children; and/or • interferes with their schooling by: depriving them of the opportunity to attend school; obliging them to leave school prematurely; or requiring them to attempt to combine school attendance with excessively long and heavy work..

DIFFERENCE OF CHILD LABOR AND CHILD WORK 9,.

The difference between ‘ child labor ’ and ‘ child work ’ is that child labor refers to work that is harmful to children. It is work that is mentally or physically dangerous, work that interferes with their ability to go to school which can affect their income-earning potential as adults. The health and wellbeing of child laborers is at risk, and they can end up being trapped in a cycle of poverty. Child work refers to a minor’s salutary employment within the family. The term “child work” is sometimes used in contrast to child labor. The idea being that a child work within the family unit may be a positive experience. Some scholars and courts note that child work can facilitate vocational skills and social adaptation. This is often viewed as an expression of family solidarity. Child work, meaning a participation in economic activity that does not negatively affect health and development or interfere with education, and is permitted from the age of 12 years; and child labor, which refers to all children below the age of 12, and those aged 12 to 14 years engaged in harmful work..

Child labor laws provide protections for children in the workplace. These laws set restrictions on age, types of jobs children can do, when children can work, and how much employers have to pay them. Provisions for child labor laws are set by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) sets specific laws and enforces them. States can also create employment laws. Employers must follow all child labor laws. Not obeying these laws can result in steep penalties..

Child labor, or the use of children as servants and apprentices, has been practiced throughout most of human history, but reached a zenith during the Industrial Revolution. Miserable working conditions including crowded and unclean factories, a lack of safety codes or legislation and long hours were the norm. Crucially, children could be paid less, were less likely to organize into unions and their small stature enabled them to complete tasks in factories or mines that would be challenging for adults..

F O R E I G N. The Puritan work ethic of the 13 colonies and their founders valued hard work over idleness, and this ethos applied to children as well. Through the first half of the 1800s, child labor was an essential part of the agricultural and handicraft economy of the United States. Children worked on family farms and as indentured servants for others. To learn a trade, boys began their apprenticeships between the ages of ten and fourteen. Before the Civil War, women and children played a critical role in American manufacturing, though it was still a relatively small part of the economy. Advances in manufacturing techniques after the war increased the number of jobs…and therefore child laborers..

Children in the Philippines are subjected to the worst forms of child labor, including in commercial sexual exploitation, sometimes as a result of human trafficking, and in armed conflict. Children also perform dangerous tasks in agriculture and gold mining. 2.1 million children ages 5 to 17 engage in child labor in hazardous work. In the early as 1923. During the Martial Law, a handful of Presidential Decrees (P.D.’s) were enforced concerning child labor laws in the Philippines. After the fall of the Marcos regime in 1986, increasing demands for reforms in government policies, legislation and programs affecting children made the government respond by ratifying the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) on July 26, 1990. The CRC entered into force as an international agreement on September 2, 1990. In 2003, the Philippines passed a new law known as R.A. 9231 or the “Special Protection of Children Against Child Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act”..

CHILD LABOR ARGUMENT SUPPORTING ill GROUP 5. . With over 168 million child laborers worldwide, this problem still remains grave. In addition to the disadvantages faced by many workers in poorer countries, such as hazardous working conditions, long hours, lack of mandated leave, etc., child laborers are denied a fundamental human right: the right to education. The most common reason for child and underage labor is the family’s need for an extra provider. Because of this, one of the best ways to handle the problem is ensuring education for the child while securing the income they used to bring to their family. Some brands put pressure on their suppliers to replace the child laborer with an adult member of their family, or to pay the child’s salary while they receive their education. People often restrict their idea of child labor to very young children. However, workers in their early teens are equally vulnerable, and their being underage is not always immediately apparent. The International Labour Organization sets the minimum working age at 15, and rules that no-one under 18 should be involved in hazardous work..

Republic Act No. 9231 December 19, 2003 An act providing for the elimination of the worst forms of child labor and affording stronger protection for the working child, amending for this purpose Republic Act No. 7610, as amended, otherwise known as the "special protection of children against child abuse, exploitation and discrimination act".

G) CD. There are a lot of laws that prohibit child labor but why there are still so many children who experienced this? There are only two reasons why the number of Child Laborers is increasing, the first is the poverty of life and the second is the unemployment of their parents. Why are there so many unemployed adults and their children are the one that needs to earn a living? These children should be inside the school to study, to reach their dreams in life and to have a well and good future. Their parents must work to provide for the needs of their children and they also have a responsibility to care for and give their children a prosperous life. However, these kids are grating steel bars, we find them in factories, in construction sites, in the quarry, at sea, at home, in the market, in shops, plantations and in landfills. There are also children working in the mines and sometimes they are also involved in the drug issue. Poverty of life is the root why young workers are continuously increasing. Several administrations have passed but the problem of child labor does not decrease but has even increased. The government should mobilize the DSWD and lead the children out of slavery. If they were educated, they would not be slaves. The increase in the number of working children or child workers is an indication that poverty is worsening in our country. In every corner of our town, we cannot deny that there are indeed many who experience hardship in life. At an early age children are already stretching their bones to earn money that supplies their family’s needs. The government should find out the areas in the country where there are many child laborers and help them get out of slavery. Give their parents work so that their children do not strain their bones. Children deserve school to forge knowledge not work to forge experience. Let them be the hope for the future not a solution for the present..
