LABOUR EXPLOITATION OF CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL REGARD TO CHILD LABOUR IN ASIA AND AFRICA

Abstract

The subject of the paper is labour exploitation of children with special regard to child labour in Asia and Africa. The purpose of the paper is to deal with the topic that has not been researched enough. Child labour exists in countries all over the world and it affects everybody, primarily because people use the products that are made by children in inhumane conditions on a daily basis. The objective of this paper is to give an elaborate insight into the problem of exploitation of the most vulnerable, the children. Children work in inhumane conditions without protective equipment and earn very little money but they are also often victims of human trafficking and forced labour for which they are not paid. Even though the data that has been gathered in the recent years shows a major decrease in child labour, a lot of work has yet to be done in order to eliminate the child labour completely, specifically due to the current global crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper concludes with a research conducted by the means of social media in order to research into the knowledge about child labour.
