Childhood is a vital and powerful experience in each individual's lifetime. It is the most important and impressionable period of learning. Throughout all of the highs and the lows, childhood is remembered forever. Although children have many rights, in some developing countries these rights are not always protected. Older, manipulative adults are taking advantage of children to make a profit for themselves. This is known as child labour, and it happens much more than to many people. Child labour is corrupt and there is no place for it in our modern world today. There are 250 million children around the world involved in activities that endanger their health or well-being or interfere with their education.Children were used to meet the demand. It was known as child labor. Child labor is a social problem associated with the rise of industrial production and capitalist. Many countries have signed treaties restricting child labor, such agreements are very difficult to enforce. Children have worked since the beginning of human existence. During the early twentieth century, Young boys were forced to work in coalmines, they were harnessed like donkeys to coal carts and had to haul them through mine tunnels. Young girls had to work on noisy dangerous machines in spinning rooms to cotton mills. They worked long hard exhausting hours and were paid pitiful salaries to bring home to their starving families. There are many things that need to be fixed and many things that should be done to help these children. Child labour happens in many countries. It first became an issue in the U.S in the 1850's in large northern cities like New York and it worsened with the increase of industrialization. Child Labor continued for a long time because of the fact the government would do nothing to help these citizens of the country during these hard times. The government simply shut there eyes and pretended not to see what was going on. Economically America was doing great, they didn't bother helping to stop child labour. They never cared that the children were dieing. Mill workers frequently developed tuberculosis, chronic bronchitis, and many other respiratory problems. The work place was very extremely hot, steamy, air filled with dust and lint that covered the workers and made it very difficult to breath.
