Question

Reason

Prevention

Answer 1

An estimated 246 million children are engaged in child labour. Of those, almost three-quarters (171 million) work in hazardous situations or conditions, such as working in mines, working with chemicals and pesticides in agriculture or working with dangerous machinery. They are everywhere but invisible, toiling as domestic servants in homes, labouring behind the walls of workshops, hidden from view in plantations.

Millions of girls work as domestic servants and unpaid household help and are especially vulnerable to exploitation and abuse. Millions of others work under horrific circumstances. They may be trafficked (1.2 million), forced into debt bondage or other forms of slavery (5.7 million), into prostitution and pornography (1.8 million), into participating in armed conflict (0.3 million) or other illicit activities (0.6 million). However, the vast majority of child labourers – 70 per cent or more – work in agriculture.

Regional estimates indicate that:

The Asian and Pacific regions harbour the largest number of child workers in the five to 14 age group, 127.3 million in total. (19 per cent of children work in the region.)
Sub-Saharan Africa has an estimated 48 million child workers. Almost one child in three (29 per cent) below the age of 15 works.
Latin America and the Caribbean have approximately 17.4 million child workers. (16 per cent of children work in the region).
Fifteen per cent of children work in the Middle East and North Africa.
Approximately 2.5 million children are working in industrialized and transition economies.

Answer 2

The reason,would be Greed,The cause would be poverty,families need to Eat so therefore are forced to use every member of the family to feed themselves.

Now prevention,is a diferent matter but I would say a start would be to make sure everyone had the very subsistences that are necessities of life ,shelter,clothing,and food.

And at least then it would relieve at least some of the reasons for child labor.
And anything to relieve it in anyway would be an improvement.

Reason: It gives big corporations of entrepenuers cheaper labor cost than if they were to hire adults. All they care about is making a profit.

Answer 8

replace the little beggars with machines, machines much are cheaper in the long run even including the replacement and maintenance costs, if you have properly cultivated the local government they will tax your labourers enough to cover the development grants and credits that they will give to you for "modernizing" your industry. It is important to resist any attempt to tax your business to pay benefits to those who are worthless unemployed because if that happens then you lose the benefits to your profits that mechanization gave you
