Why?
~~~~~~

Answer 1

A child that is forced to work.. that's cruel!

Youth who can find work often face long working hours, short-term or informal contracts, low pay and little or no social protection.

They face asbestos, Silicosis (a fatal lung disease caused by exposure to silica dust), and other nasty health problems from working in the mines.

Not only they face health problems at a such early age when their bodies are not fully developed, but also they are not allowed to be kids, and do what other kids do, what kids are supposed to do. They are robbed of their childhood.

Answer 2

Well, either could be bad or good.
A child forced to work could be teaching the child a lesson in the value of a dollar. How long it takes to earn a dollar and just how much work goes into it. Or, it just could be someone trying to get "cheap" labor. Although, by labor laws, children are allowed to work on family farms at an early age. (I did growing up.)

A woman making less money could simply be an issue of the woman being less qualified or less educated than the man in the same position. Or, it could be the man and the woman have the exact same qualifications and the person in the company in charge of hiring and salary decided the woman's work was "worth" less than the man's, which simply isn't true in todays world.

So, you see, you really need to consider all of the factors in deciding which is worse. To me, there really is no easy or quick answer to this question. In other words, I do not have an answer to this question. They are both good and bad in their own senses.

Answer 3

A child that is forced to work is far worse because that is child labor and could be ground for child abuse. Women earning less than a man is an example of inequality in the workforce. It is a tough reality, but is still happening now.

Answer 4

I think it's worse when a child is forced to work. Children should be playing, having fun, getting an education and not working.

It's also terrible that some women make less than some men but at least as an adult, we realize that the world isn't fair.

Answer 5

A child that is forced to work maybe against the law.

Although women routinely make less than their male counterparts ..... if properly litigated no ones goes to jail ... the woman gets some nice cash and probably has to find another job.

Answer 6

A child that is forced to work. A child can't really stand up for themselves. Unlike your other question (not that a woman making less than a man is appropriate).

Answer 7

child thats forced to work

cuz if thats the case, then the child or family is either suffering or not doing well. plus children shouldnt be allowed to work. they should live life

who cares if a women makes less money. if she has a great job she can work her way up. we women are survivors.

Answer 8

That a woman makes less money than a man. I really wish that sexism like that didn't exist. Children being labored is entirely normal. Many parents do not force their chidren to do work. These chidren develop onto slacking and being irresponsible. Most of these people as teens end up becoming drug addicts.

Answer 9

Well in a third world country a child is forced to work for ten cents a week. ( and thats a good job ). So I'm going to side with forced labor for kids . Woman should make as much as men though.

Answer 10

Depends on what the child is forced to do.. Clean their room take care of their personal things.. Wash dishs , all things that are good training for when you get older. And Women, will get paid what ever their boss pays them. Live with it , or get a different job.
