Child labour in China

What is child labour? Child labour are children working in dangerous factories producing all types of things especially clothes and toys. Children didn’t attend school but instead they work all week and all day, mostly they had only 2 hours of sleep, then they had to work at night to morning and morning to night again. They had limited time, at least 30 minute for breaks, breakfast and lunch.

Child labour in China

What are the problems of child labour in China?Because every person has rights, keeping children in dangerous factories is illegal. This will cause children working in factories to lose physical, mental, or emotional well-being. It destroy their future because they were not well educated, sometimes children died from sickness because they didn't get enough sleep, working in a stuffy area and killed from machines.

How do I feel about their situation? How can I help them?

I feel bad for those children, but those children must be feeling way worse than what I am feeling right now. I can’t really help them much but I can at least make a poster about anti child labour. Or donate money or things we don’t need like toys or blankets.

Would you have a part-time job? Why

I currently don’t have a part time job and I’m not even thinking about getting a part time job. But if I get to have a job, it would take me at least a whole month to buy the shoe I want. But my answer is no, because I’m too lazy and I have no confidence.
