If there is any matter upon which civilized countries have agreed ... it is the evil of premature and excessive child labor.
The exploitation of children is both easy and profitable.
There is work that profits children, and there is work that brings profit only to employers. The object of employing children is not to train them, but to get high profits from their work.
My experience of children on a film set, especially on a big film set like the 'Potter' one, is not wholly positive.
Child labor becomes a label of condemnation in spite of its ancient function as the quickest, most reliable way to human independence
Twins work really well in the industry because child labor laws dictate a baby, as an example, can only work for, like, an hour a day.
...180 million kids are engaged in the worst forms of child labour. Put it all together and it is not only morally unacceptable, but politically dangerous.
Child labour is an issue of grave importance. It must become a top priority for all governments of the world. How can the world move into the twenty-first century with children still being exploited for their labour and denied their basic right to an education?
