Child Labour Around World


Child Labour Around WorldThere are 1,5 billion children living in the world who are in the age range of 5-17 according to the offiicial numbers. Among them 317 million are engagaed in economic activity while 217 million are considered as child workers. 126 million child workers fall in the category of “Hazardous Labour” and 8 million children fall in the category of “Worst Forms of Child Labour” which means they act in prostitution, sell drugs, become a part of crime rings, involve in armed conflict, perform in pornography and get trafficked.
We produced a “Geographical Map of Child Labour”. In this project we gathered statistical numbers, explanatory figures, informations on classified sectors, age groups and working conditions of child labourers in different countries of the world.
